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...

In the title compound, C(14)H(14)N(2)O(2), the dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 9.67 (10)°. Two intra-molecular O-H⋯N and N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds involving the hydr-oxy and amino groups generate S(6) and S(5) ring motifs, respectively. In the crystal structure, N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link neighboring mol-ecules. Mol-ecules are also stacked in a head-to-tail fashion along the c axis th...
