Description
Esculetin is a member of coumarin family, more importantly, as well as one of the big three natural coumarins that have most academic publications. The adjacent -OHs on 6 and 7 positions gives esculetin intriguing hydrogen bonding mechanism, and the deprotonation the excited state of esculetin resembles both scopoletin and umbelliferone, which makes us eager to dive into esculetin’s chemistry
