a series of 2-amino-4-aryl-3-cyano-7-(dimethylamino)-4 h -chromenes was synthesized by condensation of 3-(dimethylamino)phenol, an aromatic aldehyde and malonitrile in ethanol containing piperidine. the assignments of the structure of all synthesized compounds were based on spectral data (ir, mass and 1 h nmr). the cytotoxic activities of the synthesized compounds against six human tumor cell l...
