AbstractA small library of isocoumarin derivatives has been synthesized via K2CO3-catalyzed domino reactions of 2-carboxybenzaldehyde and ω-bromoacetophenones under microwave irradiation (MW). This strategy offers a simple, environmentally acceptable route to synthesize isocoumarin derivatives in moderate to excellent yields. All new compounds were characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, infrared, and high-resolution mass spectroscopic techniques.
