The three components one pot synthesis of 2-amino-4H-benzo-[b] -pyran derivatives were obtained in good to excellent yields within short reaction time by condensing dimedone, aldehydes and malanonitrile or ethylcyanoacetate using a catalytic amount of (diacetoxyiodo)benzene as hypervalent iodine in aqueous ethanol under reflux conditions have been discussed. This aqua mediated Knoevenagel-cyclo...

Hypervalent iodine-based aminating reagents containing a transferable (diarylmethylene)amino group can be used for the α-amination of simple carbonyl compounds such as esters, amides, and ketones in presence lithium base. A snapshot unique coupling an α-carbonyl radical with iminyl this amination is given by motif spacecraft docking space station. More information found Research Article K. Kiyo...
