Abstract

A selective synthesis of 4H-chromenes by the reactions of 2-hydroxychalcone derivatives with acetonitriles substituted with electron-withdrawing groups is described. Under catalyst-free conditions, the reactions give cyano-functionalized 2-aryl-4H-chromenes, whereas in the presence of sodium bicarbonate, 2-amino-4H-chromene-3-carbonitriles are obtained in excellent yields.

Key words

heterocycles - nitriles - catalysis - chromenes
