Synthesis of chromeno[2,3-b]chromenes from 2-dimethylaminophenols and malononitrile

  • Published:
Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds Aims and scope

5a-Amino-5aH,11H-chromeno[2,3-b]chromene-11a(12H)-carbonitriles were synthesized from malono-nitrile and o-quinone methides, generated in situ by the thermolysis of phenolic Mannich bases in the presence of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene. It was also shown that this heterocyclic system can be obtained from 2-amino-4H-chromene-3-carbonitriles and the aforementioned o-quinone methides.
