Abstract: 7-hydroxy 4-styryl coumarin derivatives were synthesized by Knovengel condensation of 7-hydroxy 4-methyl coumarin with aldehydes by using novel and reusable catalyst bleaching earth clay (pH12.5) in PEG-400 as green reaction solvent, followed by the Mannich reaction. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their in vitro antihelmintic activity and it was found that the synthesized compounds showed good antihelmintic activity.

Keywords: 7-hydroxy 4-styryl coumarin derivatives; bleaching earth clay (pH12.5); PEG-400; antihelmintic activity; albendazole.
