Methyl coumalate Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

[DIISOPROPYLETHYLAMINE] is added to a suspension of coumalic acid [(115. 5G)] in N-methylpyrrolidone (600mL) at [25C, ] dimethylsulphate (100.9g) is added over lh and the reaction stirred at [25C] for 2h. The reaction mass is diluted with toluene, and extracted with water then bicarbonate and finally water. The toluene is removed in vacuo and the crude product pyrone ester is purified either by short path distillation or by crystallisation and trituration to give (after removal of residual solvent by evaporation in vacuo) the coumalic acid methyl ester (78.8g, 99percent purity, 64percent yield).

Uses

α, β-Unsaturated ketone Methyl Coumalate showed cytotoxicity against human normal gingival fibroblast cells and oral squamous cell carcinoma cell line-2.
