A number of new methyltriazolocoumarins with a linear psoralen-like structure or an angular angelicin-like structure were synthetized. The syntheses were performed starting from the appropriate methylated 7-aminocoumarins which were nitrated, reduced and successively diazotized with concomitant cyclization to form the condensed triazolo ring. The new methyltriazolocoumarins show promising spectroscopic
