Simple,Catalyst-Free,One-Pot Procedure for the Synthesis of 2-Amino-3-cyano-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrano[3,2-c]quinolin-5-one Derivatives

A one-pot, three-component reaction of 4-hydroxyquinolin-2(1H)-one, malononitrile, and various aldehydes for the synthesis of 2-amino-3-cyano-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrano[3,2-c]quinolin-5-one derivatives is reported. The reaction is performed without any catalysts in a mixed solvent of water and ethanol to give products in good yields. The present method provided a clean, simple, and economical alternative for the synthesis of potential biologically active pyranoquinoline derivatives.
