When 3-acetyl coumarin derivatives are treated with bromine, 3-(w-bromoacetyl) coumarin derivatives are obtained. The reaction of 3-(w-bromoacetyl)coumarin derivatives with thiourea or with amines for two hours leads to the formation of 2-Amino-4-(3-coumarinyl) thiazole or 3-(w-aminoacetyl) coumarin derivatives, respectively. While 3-(w-bromoacetyl) coumarin derivatives react with amines for 5-8 hours to yield imino derivatives of 3-(w-aminoacetyl) coumarin. The antimicrobial activity of Ia-b, IIa-c, IVc-f, IVh and V$_{c}$, f, h, k, m, and q was studied.d.
