7-Hydroxy- 4- methyl coumarin (II) was obtained from the reaction of resorcinol (I) with ethyl acetoacetate then this compound was fused with 2- hydroxynaphthaldehyde to give compound (III).
On treatment of compound (III) through Mannich reaction with glycine and formaldehyde, it yields the final product (IV).
Both compounds (III) and (IV) were characterized by physical and spectral methods; they were also screened for their antibacterial activity.
