Recent Advances in Organic Synthesis of 3-Amino- or 4-Aminocoumarins
: Coumarin is a privileged scaffold which contains the unique 2H-chromen-2-one motif, and its derivatives are widely distributed in nature, especially in plants. In recent years, due to their diverse pharmacological activities and remarkable photochemical properties, much attention has been attracted by scientists, which has also prompted the research on the synthesis approaches and the availability of substrates for these compounds. This article is mainly about a brief description of the methods for the synthesis of various coumarin derivatives via two- or multi-component reactions involving 3-amino or 4-aminocoumarin reported during 2015-2021. This review may help to expand the development of various analogues with coumarin as the basic unit.
