title: Condensation of alpha-aroylketene dithioacetals and 2-hydroxyarylaldehydes results in facile synthesis of a combinatorial library of 3-aroylcoumarins.
abstract: A facile, convenient, efficient, and high yielding synthesis of a combinatorial library of 3-aroylcoumarins has been developed by the condensation of easily available alpha-aroylketene dithioacetals (AKDTAs) and 2-hydroxybenzaldehydes (salicylaldehydes)/2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde in the presence of catalytic amount of piperidine in THF reflux. The condensation of ferrocene derived alpha-aroylketene dithioacetal and 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde furnished coumarin installed on a ferrocene platform.
