In this study, the synthesis of various geranyloxycoumarin derivatives from hydroxycoumarin was obtained in good yield under mild conditions using Cs2CO3. In the synthesis of geranyloxycoumarin derivatives, when 4-hydroxycoumarin reacts with geranyl bromide under mild conditions due to tautomeric keto-enol forms, 4-geranyoxycoumarin (3a), C-alkylated coumarin (3aa) and structure 3ab formed by hydrolysis and decarboxylation from 3aa were formed products. In addition, the alkylation reaction of 3-OH, 5-OH, 6-OH, 7-OH, and 8-OH coumarin except 4-OH group produced a high yield.
