Abstract
High-intensity ultrasounds have been employed in the synthesis of 4-hydroxycoumarin derivatives, using mainly water as reaction medium. Marked improvements of reaction rates, chemoselectivity and product yields have been observed on comparing sonochemical with ordinary conditions. In the alkylation of a series of allyl and benzyl bromides a pathway switch occured to yield 3-alkyl-4-hydroxycoumarin derivatives.
