Abstract

The reaction of N,N’-(1,4-phenylene)bis(2-cyano-3-(dimethylamino)acrylamide) (2) with resorcinol, α-naphthol, β-naphthol, dimedone and indandione in acetic acid afforded bischromene derivatives 4, 6, 8, 12 and 14, respectively. Similarly, treatment of 2 with barbituric acid, thiobarbituric acid and 3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-5(4H)-one to give pyrano[2,3-b]pyrimidine 16, 18, and pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazole 20 derivatives. Moreover, 2 react with thiocyanoacetamide to afford 2-pyridone derivative 24. The newly synthesized compounds were evaluated as antitumor activities. The results showed that four compounds, namely 4, 10, 18 and 24, displayed promising in vitro antitumor activity in the four cell lines assay.
