Abstract 4-(2-Pyridylazo)resorcinol (PAR) sodium salt reacts with aromatic aldehydes and malononitrile in aqueous ethanol to form 2-amino-4-aryl-5-hydroxy-6-(2-pyridylazo)-4 H -chromene-3-carbonitriles.

The structures of three 3-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole-5-thione derivatives are reported. The structure of 4-amino-3-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole-5(4H)-thione, C3H6N4S, (I), has been redetermined with an improved model for the H atoms: the non-H atoms of (I) all lie on mirror planes in space group Pbcm, and the H atoms of the methyl group are disordered over two sets of reflection-related atomic sites ...

A series of photochromic 2,2,4,6-tetraaryl-2 H -benzo[ h ]chromenes have been efficiently synthesised by two complementary strategies employing the condensation 1,1,3-triarylprop-2-yn-1-ols with 4-substituted 1-naphthols and Suzuki cross-coupling chemistry. The novel 1,1,3-triarylpropynols were readily obtained either addition an arylacetylide to requisite benzophenones or a Sonogashira couplin...

the three components one pot synthesis of 2-amino-4h-benzo-[b] -pyran derivatives were obtained in good to excellent yields within short reaction time by condensing dimedone, aldehydes and malanonitrile or ethylcyanoacetate using a catalytic amount of (diacetoxyiodo)benzene as hypervalent iodine in aqueous ethanol under reflux conditions have been discussed. this aqua mediated knoevenagel-cyclo...
