Split proposal edit
I propose to split this article into Coumarin (ONLY about coumarin, mentioning that many derivatives are known) and Coumarins (all the derivatives, but acknowledging that we already have a specialized article on 4-Hydroxycoumarins). The existence of 4-Hydroxycoumarins is a real complication--Smokefoot (talk) 21:58, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
- Support: @Smokefoot: Support. And its strange a lot of Wikipedia chemical articles first talk about the compound and afterwards the group. But probably because of the forced "singular title". Christian75 (talk) 10:27, 6 March 2021 (UTC) (mispelling made the ping fail @Smokefoot:)
- @Smokefoot: - just go for it. SilkTork (talk) 15:20, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
- Support: @Smokefoot The current article seems to conflate coumarin the chemical species with both warfarin and the coumarin family of compounds. I'm not sure whether that is deliberately done to confuse, but it certainly does. It would be very good to have two separate articles. It seems that the term 'coumarins' may refer generally to all derivatives, or more specifically to pharma/rodenticides which are apparently not all 4-hydroxycoumarins. From the style guide, Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Chemistry/Compound classes, it seems that Coumarin compound would be a reasonable title, or something similar. Latrissium (talk) 09:58, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
- Support: The separation would help prevent confusion for some reactions that create Coumarins (the general class of compounds). Such as Pechmann condensation LoomCreek (talk) 20:14, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
- Support: Per Latrissium's suggestion Coumarin compound or other title with >1 words. Differentiation by only 1 letter would be confusing. Invasive Spices (talk) 8 October 2022 (UTC)
- Coumarin derivatives would also be possible. Invasive Spices (talk) 31 December 2022 (UTC)
