From the Paper:

"The reaction of salicylaldehyde 1 with diethyl malonate 2 was reacted in a basic environment with piperidine 3. The reaction was a base catalysed condensation which also involved a transesterification step to produce 3-carbethoxycoumarin 4. The purification of 3-carbethoxycoumarin 4 was achieved through filtration. The experiment was successful with the product being identified as 3-carbethoxycioumarin 4; it was identified as such through its' melting point, IR, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR."
