Abstract
Various 4-aryloxymethylcoumarins have been obtained by the r.t. allylic substitution with formylphenols. These have been further reacted with o-aminothiophenol resulting in the formation of a benzothiazole skeleton. These compounds have been synthesised with a view to study their potential as microbial growth inhibitors. Comparative studies on the spectral and antimicrobial activities have also been carried out.
