Abstract

Pechmann condensation of ethylacetoacetate with derivatives of phenol by heating in absence of solvent and with montmorillonite clays K-10 afforded coumarin derivatives (1a-e) in good yields which on reaction with thiosemicarbazide in anhydrous pyridine yielded coumarin-quinolinyl mercaptotriazole (2a-e). The latter compounds were evaluated for their antimicrobial and anticancer activities. The newly synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, 1HNMR and mass spectra.
