General procedure for the synthesis of 2-amino-4H-chromene derivatives
To a 3 mL mixture of ethanol, aldehyde (1 mmol), malononitrile (1 mmol,
0.066 g), dimedone (1 mmol, 0.141 g) and AMBA–Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles
(0.05 g) as a catalyst were added and the mixture was stirred at 60 °C for a specific
time. When the reaction was complete (monitored by TLC), the solvent was
evaporated. Then, the reaction mixture was dissolved in CH2Cl2 (15 mL), and
subsequently AMBA–Fe3O4 was separated by a magnetic field and washed with dry
CH2Cl2 three times and checked for its reusability. The solvent of the solution
containing the product was evaporated, the solid residue was recrystallized using
ethanol and the product obtained as a white powder. All of the desired products
were characterized by comparison of their physical data with those reported in the
literature.
