ONE-POT SYNTHESIS OF NOVEL PYRANO-FUSED COUMARINS CATALYZED BY ZINC OXIDE NANOPARTICLES

摘要

A new class of pyrano[3,2-c]coumarins containing an aryloylgroup was synthesized via the three-component reactions of 4-hydroxycoumarin with arylglyoxals and malononitrile. The reactions are efficiently catalyzed by zinc oxide nanoparticles as powerful and recyclable catalyst. The green chemistry principles were also considered and the present method has some advantages, such as simplicity, low catalyst loading, and high yields.
