Reaction Steps

3,4-dimethoxy-salicylaldehyde (252.8 mg, 1.39 mmol) and Meldrum's acid (200 mg, 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 271.0 mg of 7,8-dimethoxy-3-carboxy-coumarin in an 78% yield.
