a series of 2-amino-4-(nitroalkyl)-4h-chromene-3-carbonitriles were synthesized by an efficient multicomponent reaction in aqueous media using dbu (1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene) as a catalyst at room temperature. mild condition, environment friendly procedure and excellent yields are the main advantages of this procedure. the cytotoxic activity of target compounds were evaluated against t...

A facile, convenient, green and environmentally benign one-pot three-component synthesis of poly-functionalized 4H-pyrans and 4H-chromenes is described. A basic ionic liquid 2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethaneammonium formate was found to be an efficient catalyst or catalytically active solvent for the synthesis of those important classes of heterocyclic compounds.

An efficient approach for the synthesis of functionalized 4-substituted-2-amino-3-cyano-4H-chromenes moderate to high yields (up to 98%) has been achieved via a tandem K2CO3 catalyzed conjugate addition-cyclization reaction of malononitrile and a range of Knoevenagel adducts previously formed from oxindole, pyrazolone, nitromethane, N,N-dimethylbarbituric acid or indanedione. This methodology d...

2-Dimethyl-2H-Chromenes, Coumarin Derivatives, Phase-Transfer Catalysis 2,2-Dimethyl-5H-pyrano(3,2-c)-l-benzopyrano-5-one(2) and 4H-2,3-dihydro-3-methyl-2methylene-furan-l-benzopyran-4-one (3), two new coumarin derivatives were synthesised from 4-hydroxycoumarin by treating with 3-chloro-3-methylbut-l-yne and 3-chlorobut-l-yne respectively, both reactions progressing via the phase-transfer cata...

Synthesis of indolyl 4H-chromenes via a three-component reaction catalyzed by lipase in ionic liquidsis reported here for the first time. High yields (77–98%) were obtained when Mucor miehei lipase was used as the catalyst in [EMIM][BF4]. Furthermore, [EMIM][BF4] exhibited good reusability in this enzymatic reaction. This study affords a new example of lipase catalytic promiscuity and broadens ...

ABSTRACT A simple and efficient approach has been developed to synthesise novel functionalised 5H-chromeno[2,3-d] pyrimidines derivatives (4a-h). This entails treating 2-amino-3-cyano-4H-chromenes (3a-h) with formamidine acetate under microwave irradiations solvent-free conditions. All structures of new compounds obtained in this study were characterised by IR, MS, 1H 13C NMR analysis. Addition...

The reactive intermediate generated by the addition of tert-butyl and 1,1,3,3-tetramethyl butyl isocyanide and cyclohexyl isocyanide to dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylate was trapped by 3-hydroxy pyridine to produce highly functionalized 4H-chromenes in fairly good  yields

A series of 2-amino-4-aryl-3-cyano-7- (dimethylamino)-4H-chromenes was synthesized by condensation of 3- (dimethylamino) phenol, an aromatic aldehyde and malonitrile in ethanol containing piperidine. The assignments of the structure of all synthesized compounds were based on spectral data (IR, Mass and(1)H NMR). The cytotoxic activities of the synthesized compounds against six human tumor cell ...

Silica-bonded n-propyltriethylene-tetramine (SBNPTT) was found as an efficient solid base for the synthesis of 2-amino-5-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4H-chromenes. Chromene derivatives were obtained via the three-component condensation reaction of aromatic aldehydes, malononitrile, and dimedone at 80 oC under solvent-free conditions. The heterogeneous solid base showed much the same efficiency when u...
