Abstract: The synthesis of coumarin derivatives has been an essential topic since its discovery in
1820. In bioactive compounds, the coumarin moiety serves as a backbone, as many such bioactive
compounds with the coumarin moiety play a significant role in their bioactivities. Given this moiety's
relevance, several researchers are developing fused-coumarin derivatives to create new drugs.
Mostly the approach done for this purpose was a multicomponent reaction based. Over the years,
the multicomponent reaction has gained enormous popularity, and this approach has evolved as a
replacement for conventional synthetic methods. Because of all these perspectives, we have reported
the various fused-coumarin derivatives synthesized using multicomponent reactions in recent
years.
