Reaction Steps

2-hydroxy-5-methoxy-3-(4-morpholinylmethyl)benzaldehyde (0.349 g, 1.39 mmol) and Meldrum's acid (0.200 g, 1.39 mmol) were combined in H2O (2 mL). The solution was stirred at 75° C. for 2 h. After cooling to room temperature, the precipitate was filtered and dried at suction to give 0.381 g of 8-(4-morpholinylmethyl)-3-carboxy-6-methoxy-coumarin in an 85% yield: LCMS (ESI) m/z 320 (MH+).
