The reusability of the catalyst in the abovementioned
reactions was also rechecked by using the preparation of 5a and
6a as model reactions. After five consecutive runs, the activity
of the catalyst remained almost unchanged. After each run, the
product mixture was dissolved in EtOH, the catalyst simply
filtered off, washed with EtOH, dried and reused for the next
four runs without appreciable loss of its catalytic activity.
To show the efficiency of the present method, we have
compared our results for the synthesis of 2-aminobenzo[h]
chromene 5f, catalysed by SILLP, with other reported protocols
in the literature. It is evident from the results in Table 2 that
the reaction in the presence of SILLP produces the product in a
much shorter reaction time and higher yield.

Conclusion
1
We have developed an efficient and eco-friendly protocol for
the one-pot three-component synthesis of 2-aminobenzo[h]
chromene and 3-aminobenzo[f]chromene derivatives using
SILLP. The catalyst is recoverable and the efficiency of the
catalyst remains almost unaltered after five cycles. Excellent
yields, simple workup, short reaction times, easy recovery of
the catalyst and the green nature of the procedure make this
methodology attractive for large-scale synthesis.

Experimental
Melting points were measured on an Electrothermal 9100 apparatus.
IR spectra were determined on a Shimadzo IR-470 spectrometer.
1H NMR and 13C NMR spectra were recorded on a 400 and 500 MHz
Bruker DRX-400 with DMSO-d6 as solvent and TMS as an internal
standard. Chemical shifts are expressed in ppm downfield from TMS.
Elemental analyses were performed on a Carlo-Erba EA1110CNNO-S
analyser and agreed (within 0.2%) with the calculated values. All
chemicals were purchased from Merck and used without further
purification. All solvents used were dried and distilled according to
standard procedures.
Synthesis of 2-amino-4H-benzo[h]chromene and 3-amino-1H-
benzo[f]chromene derivatives (5a–o, 6a–f); general procedure
A mixture of benzaldehyde 1 (1 mmol), malononitrile 2 (1 mmol),
α-naphthol 3 (1 mmol) or β-naphthol (4) and SILLP (0.1 g) in water (5
mL) were refluxed for a certain time (monitored by TLC), and the solid
product was dissolved in EtOH and filtered off to remove the catalyst.
The catalyst was washed with EtOH and the combined organic
solution was evaporated under reduced pressure to produce the desired
products. The crude products were purified by recrystallisation from
DMF–H2O and washing with cold ethanol. The catalyst was dried and
reused for four runs without appreciable loss of its catalytic activity.
