Abstract:

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 three cancer cell lines MDA-MB-231, MCF-7 and T47D in comparison with etoposide as reference drug. Generally, all compounds showed good cell growth inhibitory activity with IC50 values less than 30 μg/mL. Their activities were comparable or more potent than standard drug etoposide. The 6-bromo- derivatives 7e and 7f showed promising cytotoxic activity with IC50 values in the range of 3.46–18.76 μg/mL, being more potent than etoposide against all tested cell lines.Keywords: 4H-chromenes; Benzopyran; DBU; One-pot synthesis; Cytotoxic activity

Ethyl 2-amino-4-(4-bromophenyl)-6-methoxy-4H-benzo[h]chromene-3-carboxylate

In the title compound, C23H20BrNO4, the pyran ring has a flattened boat conformation with the O and methine C atoms lying to one side of the plane [0.160 (5) and 0.256 (6) Å, respectively] defined by the remaining atoms. Nevertheless, the 4H-benzo[h]chromene ring system approximates a plane (r.m.s. deviation = 0.116 Å) with the bromo-benzene ring almost perpendicular [dihedral angle = 83.27 (16...

In the title compound, C21H15BrN2O2, the 14 non-H atoms of the 4H-benzo[h]chromene fused-ring system are approximately coplanar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.129 Å). Within this system, the 4H-pyran ring adopts a flattened half-chair conformation with the methine C atom lying 0.281 (4) Å above the plane of the remaining atoms (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0446 Å). The bromo-benzene ring is almost perpendicular...
