Amberlite IR-120 Catalyzed Green and Efficient One-Pot Synthesis of Benzylpyrazolyl Coumarin in Aqueous Medium

Abstract

An efficient, green, and cost-effective synthesis of benzylpyrazolyl coumarin by one-pot four-component condensation of hydrazine hydrate or phenyl hydrazine, ethyl acetoacetate, aromatic aldehyde, and 4-hydroxycoumarin in the presence of Amberlite IR-120 as a catalyst in an aqueous medium has been reported. Shorter reaction time, operation simplicity, low cost of catalyst, and aqueous medium are key advantages of this method for synthesizing benzylpyrazolyl coumarin in moderate to high yield.
