Convenient and Efficient One-Pot Method for the Synthesis of 2-Amino-tetrahydro-4H-chromenes and 2-Amino-4H-benzo[h]-chromenes Using Catalytic Amount of Amino-Functionalized MCM-41 in Aqueous Media

Abstract

A convenient and efficient one-pot method for the synthesis of 2-amino-tetrahydro-4H-chromene and 2-amino-4H-benzo[h]-chromene derivatives has been developed using a catalytic amount of amino-functionalized MCM-41 in aqueous medium. This efficient technique has the advantages of giving 4H-tetrahydro-chromene and 4H-benzo[h]chromene building blocks using a reusable catalyst in good to excellent yields, to be completed in short reaction times with a simple product isolation procedure.
