Abstract

A series of 4-substituted 2-amino-4H-chromenes was synthesized via a simple and efficient one-pot synthesis from salicylaldehyde, malononitrile, and a few cyclic nucleophiles using indium trichloride as a catalyst. The methodology affords high yields of products in short reaction times.

Key words

chromenes - salicylaldehyde - indium(III) chloride - ­malononitrile - three-component

Experimental Procedure for the Synthesis of 2-Amino-4 H -chromene 4a (Table 2, Entry 1)
To a stirred mixture of salicylaldehyde 1 (1 mmol) and malononitrile (2, 1 mmol) in EtOH, 3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-5 (4H)-one (3, 1 mmol) and InCl3 (20 mol%) were added. The reaction mixture was stirred until complete conversion of the product as indicated by TLC (Table  [²] ). The solid formed was filtered, dried, and recrystallized from EtOH to obtain the pure product in good yield (85%) 4a. 2-Amino-4-(5-hydroxy-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1 H -pyrazol-4-yl)-4 H -chromene-3-carbonitrile (4a, Table 2, Entry 1) White solid; mp 150-152 ˚C.
