SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF SOME TRANSITION METAL COMPLEXES WITH BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE SCHIFF BASES

By: Dr. KOTTE SHYLAJA

Coumarins, or benzo-α-pyrones, are a very large and important family of compounds. Their defining structure consists of fused pyrone and benzene rings, with the pyrone carbonyl group at position 2 [1]. The study of coumarins began more than 200 years ago. Coumarins owe their class name to ‘Coumarou’, the vernacular name of the Tonka bean (Dipteryx odorata Willd, Fabaceae), from which coumarin was isolated in 1820. Coumarin is a widely occurring secondary metabolite that occurs naturally in several plant families and essential oils. It has been used in flavoring food and in cosmetic products as a fragrant [2-4]. The coumarin nucleus corresponds to benzo-α-pyrone (2H-1-benzopyran-2-one).
