Abstract:
A short and simple synthesis of chromeno3,4‐b]4,7]phenanthroline derivatives was accomplished by three‐component reactions involving an aromatic aldehyde, 6‐aminoquinoline and 4‐hydroxycoumarin in water, under microwave irradiation without use of any catalyst. This protocol has the advantages of short reaction time, high yields, low cost and being environmental‐friendly as well as easy operation.
