(E)-3-[3-(4-Morpholinophenyl)acryloyl]-2H-chromen-2-one

Abstract A new compound ( E)-3-[3-(4-morpholinophenyl)acryloyl]-2 H-chromen-2-one, a coumarin based chalcone derivative, has been successfully synthesized employing a molecular hybridization method through the reaction between 3-acetylcoumarin and 4-morpholinobenzaldehyde using a Claisen–Schmidt reaction using pTSA as a catalyst. The structure of the title compound was established using spectroscopic data FTIR, HRESI-MS, 1H- and 13C-NMR. The anticancer activity against breast cancer cells line T47D and cervix cancer cells line HeLa was determined using an MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay.
