Participants

Reaction Steps

4-chloro coumarin, (100 mg, 0.54 mmol) was dissolved in 2 mL of DMF at room temperature and followed by the addition of NaN3 (40 mg, 0.62 mmol) and stirring for twelve hours. The reaction mixture was poured onto 10 g of ice, and then stirred for 30 minutes at room temperature. Filtration and drying afforded white powder; yield (80 mg, 80%); mp 159-160° C. 1H-NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ 7.2-7.7 (m, 5H).
