EDTA-catalyzed fast and efficient eco-friendly synthesis of dicoumarol derivatives in water
Abstract
EDTA-Catalyzed a simple, fast and efficient eco-friendly green protocol for the synthesis of dicoumarol derivatives in excellent yields in water at room temperature. This EDTA-catalyzed aqueous reactions of 4-hydroxycoumarin and various aldehydes avoids the use of expansive, corrosive, toxic solvents and provides several advantages such as short reaction time and scalable green synthesis.
