Reaction Steps

Dilute sodium hydroxide solution was added to a suspension of 6,7-diethyl-4-hydroxy-3-nitrocoumarin (2.90g) in water (20 ml) till the pH of the solution reached 14. Filtration gave the product as a monohydrate, m.p. 249°-251°(d), (C13H12NO5Na.H2O requires C, 51.49; H, 4.65; N, 4.62; Na, 7.58. Found: C, 52.08; H, 4.65; N, 4.83; Na, 7.81) after washing with water and drying under vacuum.
