Synthesis of 6- Tert -Octyl and 6,8-Di Tert -Butyl Coumarins, Two Coumarins of Biological Interest

Abstract

In this study, the synthesis of new coumarins with aliphatic chains is discussed. The incorporation of the 6-tert-octyl and 6,8-ditert-butyl chains into a coumarin structure from alkylphenols, allows obtaining hydrophobic coumarins with good yields. These coumarins can be potential modulators of TRPV1 receptors. Synthesis and spectroscopic data of these new coumarins are analyzed.
