The preparation of coumarin-3-carboxylic acid is a classical chemistry experiment. In this experiment, the reactants, salicylaldehyde and diethyl malonate, as well as the piperidine catalyst are mixed under reflux for 2 h to obtain coumarin-3-carboxylic acid after base hydrolysis and acidification. We have made the following improvements and extensive designs to the experiment: 1) By substituting diethyl malonate with Meldrum’s acid, coumarin-3-carboxylic acid can be obtained by heating at 90 °C for 30 min in water, and 7-(diethylamino)coumarin-3-carboxylic acid can be synthesized by changing the substrate; 2) Observing the fluorescence of the solution with Eu³⁺, coumarin-3-carboxylic acid, and 7-(diethylamino)coumarin-3-carboxylic acid and using computational chemistry can help verify the energy transfer property. The modified experiment, which involves a number of important multidisciplinary knowledge points, has strong modularity, comprehensiveness, interest, and teaching feasibility. Moreover, it is conducive to cultivating students’ innovative and comprehensive application abilities.
