ABSTRACT
A concise, efficient one-pot synthesis of functionalized chromeno[4,3-b]pyridine derivatives via a three-component reaction of 4-oxo-4H-chromene-3-carbaldehydes, malononitrile or cyanoacetates, and aromatic amines under catalyst-free conditions in an environmentally friendly medium (ethanol-water, 3:1 v/v) is described. This synthesis involves a group-assisted purification process, which avoids traditional recrystallization and chromatographic purification methods.
