Introduction Multicomponent reactions (MCRs) are very important in organic synthesis due to the formation of carbon-carbon and carbon-hetero atom bonds in one pot [13]. Simple procedures, high bond forming efficiency, time and energy saving, and low expenditures are among the advantages of these reactions [4]. Over the past several years, chemists have been aware of the environmental implications of their chemistry. Nowadays, they are trying to develop new syn- thetic methods, reaction conditions, and uses of chemicals that reduce the risks to humans and the environment. Organic solvents are high on the list of hazardous chemicals because they are used in large amounts and are usually volatile liquids. erefore, in recent years, solventless organic reactions have attracted great interest. ey have many advantages such as high efficiency and selectivity, opera- tional simplicity, low costs, mild reaction conditions, and reduced pollution [57]. Pyrano[3,2-c]chromenes are a class of important heterocycles with a wide range of biological properties [8] such as spasmolytic, diuretic, anticoagulant, anticancer, and antianaphylactic activity [9]. Moreover, they have been used as cognitive enhancers, for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, AIDS associated dementia, and Down’s syndrome as well as for the treatment of schizophrenia and myoclonus [10]. In addition, aminochromene derivatives exhibit a wide spectrum of biological activities including antihypertensive and anti-ischemic behavior [1113]. Several methods have been reported for the synthesis of pyrano[3,2-c]chromene derivatives. 2-Amino-4-aryl-5-oxo- 4H,5H-pyrano[3,2-c]chromene-3-carbonitriles have previo- usly been prepared from aromatic aldehydes, malono- nitrile, and 4-hydroxycoumarin in the presence of organic bases like piperidine or pyridine in an organic solvent, that is, ethanol and pyridine [14]. ey have also been prepared in the presence of diammonium hydrogen phosphate (DAHP), (S)-proline [15], K 2 CO 3 under microwave irradiation [16], TBAB [17], MgO [18], H 6 P 2 W 18 O 62 18H 2 O[19], Hexa- methylene tetramine [20], TMGT [21], N,N,N ,N -tetra- bromo benzene-1,3-disulfonamide (TBBDA) and poly(N,N - dibromo-N-ethyl-benzene-1,3-disulfonamide) (PBBS) [22], 3-hydroxypropanaminium acetate (HPAA) [23], 2-hydro- xyethylammonium formate [24], [bmim]Br [25], potassium phthalimide-N-oxyl [26], and CuO nanoparticles [27]. How- ever, some of these methods suffer from the serious limita- tions such as long reaction times, multistep reactions, com- plex synthetic pathways, and lower product yields. erefore, the development of milder, faster, and more ecofriendly methods, accompanied with higher yields is needed. In recent years, 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) has received considerable attention as an inexpensive, eco- friendly, high reactive, easy to handle, and nontoxic base

1 Introduction

Multicomponent reactions (MCRs) are very important inorganic synthesis due to the formation of carbon-carbonand carbon-hetero atom bonds in one pot [1ndash3] Simpleprocedures high bond forming efficiency time and energysaving and low expenditures are among the advantages ofthese reactions [4] Over the past several years chemistshave been aware of the environmental implications of theirchemistry Nowadays they are trying to develop new syn-thetic methods reaction conditions and uses of chemicalsthat reduce the risks to humans and the environmentOrganic solvents are high on the list of hazardous chemicalsbecause they are used in large amounts and are usuallyvolatile liquidsTherefore in recent years solventless organicreactions have attracted great interest They have manyadvantages such as high efficiency and selectivity opera-tional simplicity low costs mild reaction conditions andreduced pollution [5ndash7] Pyrano[32-c]chromenes are a classof important heterocycles with a wide range of biologicalproperties [8] such as spasmolytic diuretic anticoagulantanticancer and antianaphylactic activity [9] Moreover theyhave been used as cognitive enhancers for the treatment ofneurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimerrsquos diseaseParkinsonrsquos disease Huntingtonrsquos disease amyotrophic lateralsclerosis AIDS associated dementia and Downrsquos syndromeas well as for the treatment of schizophrenia and myoclonus

catalyst for various organic transformations affording thecorresponding products in excellent yields with high selectiv-ity [28 29] The reactions are environmentally friendly andthe catalyst can be recycled in some cases In continuationof our interest to further enlarge the application of DABCOas a catalyst [30] here we wish to report one-pot synthesisof pyrano[32-c]chromene derivatives by the reaction ofaromatic aldehydes malononitrile and 4-hydroxycoumarincatalyzed by DABCO in solventless conditions

2 Results and Discussion

When aromatic aldehyde 1 malononitrile 2 and 4-hydroxycoumarin 3 were condensed in the presence of DABCOin solvent-free neat conditions at 100∘C 2-Amino-4-aryl-3-cyano-5-oxo-4H5H-pyrano[32-c]chromene derivatives 4were obtained in good to high yields (Scheme 1)

In our initial study the reaction of benzaldehyde mal-ononitrile and 4-hydroxycoumarin was used as a modelreaction to optimize the reaction conditions First the reac-tion was conducted in various solvents using DABCO as acatalyst under refluxing conditions and also under solvent-free conditions As can be seen from Table 1 the best resultswere obtained in neatThe effect of temperature in solventlessconditions was studied by carrying out the reaction at 60 80100 and 120∘CThe results fromTable 1 (entry 6) showed that100∘C would be the best temperature for all reactions

Under the optimized reaction conditions a series ofdihydropyrano[32-c]chromene derivatives 4(andashj) were syn-thesized The results are summarized in Table 2 In all casesaromatic aldehydes substituted with either electron-donatingor electron-withdrawing groups underwent the reactionsmoothly and gave the expected products in good to highyields under the same reaction conditions Moreover het-eroaromatic aldehydes could also be successfully convertedto the corresponding heteroaryl substituted pyrano[32-c]chromenes in excellent yields

3 Conclusion

In summary a new clean and efficient protocol for the syn-thesis of pyrano[32-c]chromene derivatives using DABCOunder solvent-free conditions was described The use ofDABCO as a green nontoxic nonexplosive inexpensivenonvolatile easy to handle and thermally stable catalyst withsimple experimental and isolation procedure makes it anattractive method for the preparation of these compounds

catalyst for various organic transformations affording thecorresponding products in excellent yields with high selectiv-ity [28 29] The reactions are environmentally friendly andthe catalyst can be recycled in some cases In continuationof our interest to further enlarge the application of DABCOas a catalyst [30] here we wish to report one-pot synthesisof pyrano[32-c]chromene derivatives by the reaction ofaromatic aldehydes malononitrile and 4-hydroxycoumarincatalyzed by DABCO in solventless conditions

2 Results and Discussion

When aromatic aldehyde 1 malononitrile 2 and 4-hydroxycoumarin 3 were condensed in the presence of DABCOin solvent-free neat conditions at 100∘C 2-Amino-4-aryl-3-cyano-5-oxo-4H5H-pyrano[32-c]chromene derivatives 4were obtained in good to high yields (Scheme 1)

In our initial study the reaction of benzaldehyde mal-ononitrile and 4-hydroxycoumarin was used as a modelreaction to optimize the reaction conditions First the reac-tion was conducted in various solvents using DABCO as acatalyst under refluxing conditions and also under solvent-free conditions As can be seen from Table 1 the best resultswere obtained in neatThe effect of temperature in solventlessconditions was studied by carrying out the reaction at 60 80100 and 120∘CThe results fromTable 1 (entry 6) showed that100∘C would be the best temperature for all reactions

Under the optimized reaction conditions a series ofdihydropyrano[32-c]chromene derivatives 4(andashj) were syn-thesized The results are summarized in Table 2 In all casesaromatic aldehydes substituted with either electron-donatingor electron-withdrawing groups underwent the reactionsmoothly and gave the expected products in good to highyields under the same reaction conditions Moreover het-eroaromatic aldehydes could also be successfully convertedto the corresponding heteroaryl substituted pyrano[32-c]chromenes in excellent yields

3 Conclusion

In summary a new clean and efficient protocol for the syn-thesis of pyrano[32-c]chromene derivatives using DABCOunder solvent-free conditions was described The use ofDABCO as a green nontoxic nonexplosive inexpensivenonvolatile easy to handle and thermally stable catalyst withsimple experimental and isolation procedure makes it anattractive method for the preparation of these compounds
