Intramolecular Baylis-Hillman reaction: A pathway to substituted coumarins

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919308012600

The acrylate ester of salicylaldehyde, in the presence of DABCO, affords a crystalline coumarin salt. Formation of this derivative confirms a vital intermediate in the mechanism of the reaction. Salicylaldehyde, suitably protected, reacts with methyl acry
