Abstract: Compounds from the plant world that possess antioxidant abilities are of special im- portance for the food and pharmaceutical industry. Coumarins are a large, widely distributed group of natural compounds, usually found in plants, often with good antioxidant capacity. The coumarin-hydroxybenzohydrazide derivatives were synthesized using a green, one-pot protocol. Citation: Antonijevi´c,M.R.; This procedure includes the use of an environmentally benign mixture (vinegar and ethanol) as a Simijonovi´c,D.M.; Avdovi´c,E.H.; catalyst and solvent, as well as very easy isolation of the desired products.
