Abstract
Substituted coumarins were synthesized in good yields via the Pechmann reaction in chloroaluminate ionic liquid. 1-Butylpyridinium chloroaluminate ionic liquid was used as a solvent cum catalyst for this condensation reaction.
Key words
ionic liquid - Pechmann reaction - coumarins

Experimental Procedure : A mixture of phenol (10 mmol), ketoester (10 mmol) and the ionic liquid (8.7 mmol) was stirred at 130 °C in a pre-heated oil bath. After completion of the reaction at the desired time as indicated in the table, the reaction mixture was quenched by adding 6 M HCl. The solid product obtained was filtered off and recrystallized from appropriate solvents. The compounds are all well known and in agreement with spectral and physical data.
