Abstract: | In this research, the green synthesis of chromen derivatives in good yields is described via three‐component reactions of 4‐hydroxycumarine, aldehydes or ketones, and methyl ketones in the presence of KF/clinoptilolite nanoparticles (KF/CP‐NPs) under solvent‐free conditions at 50°C in low time. The present methodology suggests some advantages such as low reaction time, easy and simple procedure, green method, inexpensive catalyst, high yield of product, and existence of different substrates for performing these reactions. In addition, it should be mentioned that antioxidant activity was studied for some prepared compounds, such as 4a–4d, by DPPH radical trapping and reducing potential tests of ferric ion and then comparing results with TBHQ and BHT as synthetic antioxidants. In this study, compounds 4c was shown to have moderate DPPH radical trapping, and compounds 4b and 4d displayed good reducing power of ferric ion. |
