Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Ethyl2—（2—Amino—3—ethoxycarbonyl—4H—benzopyran—4—yl）cyanoacetate

1 INTRODUCTION Inorganic solid supports as catalysts resulting in higher selectivity, milder conditions and easier work-up have been reported as useful catalysts for many reactions 1~3]. Recently, we have reported the Knoevenagel condensation catalyzed by KF-Al2O34]. In this paper, we discussed the crystal structure of the title compound synthesized by the reaction of salicylaldehyde and ethyl cyanoacetate in DMF using the catalyst KF-Al2O3 at room temperature KF-Al2O3.

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Ethyl 2-(2-Amino-3-ethoxycarbonyl-4H-benzopyran-4-yl) cyanoacetate

The title compound ethyl 2-(2-amino-3-ethoxycarbonyl-4H-benzopyran-4-yl) cyanoacetate(C17H18N2O5, Mr=330.33) was obtained by the reaction of salicylaldehyde with ethyl cyanoacetate in DMF at room temperature catalyzed by KF-Al2O3. The crystal is monoclinic, space group P21/n, with unit cell constants a =9.277(3), b =8.521(2), c =21.320(2)? b =93.72(2)? Z =4, V =1681.8(7)?, Dc =1.305g/cm3, m (MoKa) =0.097mm-1, F(000) =696, R =0.0426, Rw =0.0970 for 3042 observed reflections(I>2s(I)). X-ray analysis reveals that interatomic distance for C(8)C(9) is 1.359(3)? which shows that it is C=C double bond. In addition, there are hydrogen bonds in the molecule.
