Synthesis and Characterization of Some Novel Coumarin Based Pyrazoles, Isoxazole and Pyrimidyl Derivatives
ABSTRACT
4-Hydroxy-7-methoxy-3-phenyl-chromen-2-one has been build-up in new methodology using 1-(2-hydroxy-4-methoxy-phenyl)-2-phenyl-ethanone in
presence of sodium in diethyl carbonate. 1, 3-diketone system has been developed at 8 th position of coumarin nucleus by Backer venkatraman rearrangement
reaction. It is furtherly converted into substituted pyrazoles, isoxazole and pyrimidines under appropriate conditions using ethanol as solvent. All
synthesized compounds were purified by column chromatography and structures are analyzed by FT-IR, 1 H-NMR, 13 C NMR and Mass spectrum.
