A new and convenient method for the synthesis of biscoumarins based on the condensation of 4-hydroxycoumarin and aromatic aldehydes in the presence of Mohrs salt hexahydrate (ferrous ammonium sulfate
hexahydrate) as a novel catalyst on water is developed. This method has advantages such as the use of inexpensive and available reagent, avoidance of organic solvents, short reaction times, and high product
yields.
Keywords: Mohrs salt; Biscoumarin; On-water; Aldehyde; Ferrous ammonium sulfate
hexahydrate.
INTRODUCTION
Coumarins have attracted the attention of chemists
because they are biologically active so that they reduce the
HIV activity and some coumarins have shown cytostatic
activity and therefore can be considered as potential candidates for anti-cancer therapy.1 Biscoumarins, the bridge
substituted dimers of 4-hydroxycoumarin, have enormous
potential as anticoagulants.2 Dicoumarol is also an anticoagulant that functions as a vitamin K antagonist.3 It is the
hemorrhagic agent responsible for the sweet clover disease
of cattle,4 and has also been employed for the prevention
and treatment of thrombosis.5 There are some methods described in the literature for the synthesis of bis-4-hydroxycoumarins using different catalysts or reagents in various
conditions.6-12 Bis-4-hydroxycoumarins have been generally synthesized by refluxing 4-hydroxycoumarin and various aldehydes in ethanol for several hours. However, some
of the reported methods suffer from drawbacks, such as the
use of expensive or synthetic reagents and organic solvents.6,8 Also, some of them require harsh conditions,10 tedious work-up in certain cases12 and long reaction times to
complete.11
With an objective to develop environmentally benign
reaction conditions and media for organic transformations
with excellent efficiency and selectivity, water has been
shown to be a useful solvent or media.13 Recently, organic
synthesis on water was reviewed by Fokin and co-workers.14 In this context, we report the use of Mohrs salt hexahydrate (ferrous ammonium sulfate hexahydrate) as an
eco-friendly and readily available reagent for the synthesis
of substituted biscoumarins on water.
