Preparation of 6-Methylcoumarin: It can be obtained by p-cresol and fumaric acid. Preheating 72% sulfuric acid to 80 °C and adding the mixture of fumaric acid and p-cresol. Then reacting 3-4h at 160-170 °C. Cooled and poured into ice to precipitation. After filtration, the filtrate is extracted by benzene. Finally, using vacuum distillation to get crude product.
Uses of 6-Methylcoumarin: It is used in organic synthesis, preparation of perfume and cosmetics. It also can be used to produce 6-methyl-chromene-2-thione. This reaction needs reagent P2S5 and solvent toluene at temperature of 85 °C. The yield is 59%.
