The reaction of salicylic aldehydes with malononitrile was reinvestigated, and the reaction pathway was followed by 1H NMR spectroscopy. A delicate control of the experimental conditions allowed the synthesis of 2-imino-2H-chromene-3-carbonitriles 1, (2-amino-3-cyano-4H-chromen-4-yl)malononitriles 2, 4-amino-5-imino-2,7-dimethoxy-5H-chromeno[3,4-c]pyridine-1-carbonitrile 12, and (4,5-diamino-1-...

In the present work, novel 7-aryl-10, 11-dihydro-7H-chromeno [4, 3-b]quinoline-6, 8(9H, 12H)-dione derivatives were synthesized by oxidation of 7-aryl-8, 9, 10, 12-tetrahydro-7H-chromeno[4, 3-b]quinoline-6, 8-diones in the presence of silica sulfuric acid/NaNO2 with yields of 64-74%. Cytotoxic activity of synthesized compounds was assessed on three different human cancer cell lines (K562, LS180...

rel-(5aR,11bR)-3,5a,6,11b-tetrahydro-2H,5H-chromeno[4',3':4,5]thiopyrano[2,3-d][1,3]thiazol-2-ones formed by the stereoselective Knoevenagel-hetero-Diels-Alder reaction were functionalized at the nitrogen in position 3 via reactions of alkylation, cyanoethylation, and acylation. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their anticancer activity in NCI60 cell lines. Among the tested compound...

The aminomethylation of hydroxylated isoflavones with 2-aminoethanol, 3-amino-1-propanol, 4-amino-1-butanol, and 5-amino-1-pentanol in the presence of excess formaldehyde led principally to 9-(2-hydroalkyl)-9,10-dihydro-4H,8H-chromeno[8,7-e][1,3]-oxazin-4-ones 4 and/or the tautomeric 7-hydroxy-8-(1,3-oxazepan-3-ylmethyl)-4H-chromen-4-ones 5. The ratio of these tautomers was dependent on solvent...

A new, simple thermally efficient and solvent-free condensation of 2-amino-3-cyano-6-methyl-4-phenyl-4H-pyran-5-ethylcarboxylate derivatives with coumarin-3-carboxylic acid employing pentafluorophenylammonium triflate (PFPAT) as an inexpensive organocatalyst for the synthesis of a series of ethyl 4,5-dihydro 7-methyl-2-(2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl)-4-oxo-5-aryl-3H-chromeno[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-carboxyl...

A 2,4-dimethyl-1H-chromeno[4',3':4,5]pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-1,3,7(2H,4H)-trione 3 was synthesized via a one-pot procedure. Its structure was established on the basis of FTIR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, DEPT, COSY, HSQC, MS data and elemental analysis. The new compound was assayed for antiproliferative/cytotoxic effects in a panel of human tumor cell lines after 72 h exposure. MTT-dye reduction assay was...
