Abstract

A one-pot synthesis of new 4-allyl-2-amino-4H-chromene-3-carbonitriles was achieved in good yields by indium-mediated three-component reaction of salicylaldehyde and malononitrile with different allyl bromides in water.

Key words

chromenes - indium - malononitrile - allyl bromide - water

General Procedure for the Synthesis of 2-Amino-chromenes 4a-k and 7a,b from Salicylaldehyde, Malononitrile and Allyl Bromide/Prenyl Bromide; Representative Procedure for 4-Allyl-2-amino-4 H -chromene-3-carbonitrile (4a; Table 1, entry 1): A mixture of salicylaldehyde (1 mmol) and malononitrile (1 mmol) in H₂O (10 mL) was stirred for about 15-20 min. Allyl bromide (1.5 mmol), indium (1.05 mmol) and NaI (1.55 mmol) were then added and the mixture was stirred at r.t. for the appropriate time (Table [¹] ). After complete conversion as indicated by TLC, the reaction was quenched with few drops of 1 N HCl solution. The mixture was extracted with Et₂O and the Et₂O extract was washed with brine, dried (Na₂SO₄) and evaporated to leave the crude product which was purified by column chromatography over silica gel (Merck, 60-120 mesh, EtOAc-hexane, 1:9) to furnish pure product 4a (80%).
