Abstract
Coumarin is a privileged scaffold that contains the unique 2H-chromen-2-one motif, and its
derivatives are widely distributed in nature, especially in plants. In recent years, due to their diverse
pharmacological activities and remarkable photochemical properties, they have attracted significant
attention from scientists, which has also prompted the research on the synthesis approaches and the
availability of substrates for these compounds. This article is a brief description of the methods for the
synthesis of various coumarin derivatives via two- or multi-component reactions involving 3-amino
or 4-aminocoumarin reported during 2015-2021. This review may help expand the development of
various analogues with coumarin as the basic unit.
Keywords:
4-aminocoumarin, 3-aminocoumarin, heterocycles, multicomponent, review synthesis, organic synthesis.
