The multicomponent reaction of malononitrile, aldehyde and a third reaction partner such as naphthol/4-hydroxycoumarine/2-hydroxynaphthoquinone/kojic acid/enolizable ketone or thiol in the presence of imidazole as an organocatalyst provides very interesting molecular diversity. In an almost neutral reaction medium, this protocol provides easy access to highly functionalized 2-amino-4H-chromenes, dienes and 2-amino pyridines using in situ-generated aryl/alkylylidenemalononitrile derivatives obtained from the reaction of aldehydes and malononitrile along with various nucleophiles under reflux conditions in ethanol. This methodology is useful for the easy access of a wide range of structurally diverse functionalized molecules having potential application in biological systems.

AbstractA series of fifteen 2‐amino‐4‐aryl‐5‐oxo‐4,5‐dihydropyrano[3,2‐c]chromene‐3‐carbonitriles (1 a–o) were synthesized via a three‐component reaction of 4‐hydroxycoumarin, malononitrile, and diversely substituted benzaldehydes or pyridine carbaldehydes. The compounds were tested for anticancer activities against a panel of eight human tumor cell lines. A few derivatives with high antiproliferative activities and different cancer cell specificity were identified and investigated for their modes of action. They led to microtubule disruption, centrosome de‐clustering and G2/M cell cycle arrest in 518 A2 melanoma cells. They also showed anti‐angiogenic effects in vitro and in vivo.
