Symmetrical bidentate nucleophiles such as resorcinol have been made to react with 4-bromomethylcoumarins in a cascaded manner to obtain mono and bis-4-aryloxymethylcoumarins by a room temperature allylic nucleophilic displacement. Unsymmetrical nucleophiles such as 3-acetylaminophenol and 3-diethylaminophenol have been used to generate 4-aryloxymethylcoumarins. All the compounds have been analyzed by spectralmethods and subjected to preliminary antibacterial, antifungal and DNA cleavage studies. The results showed that the compounds bearing methoxy, chloro and bromo substituents at C6-position of coumarin showed higher activity. Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2011.
