Abstract: In the current study, we reported a cost-effective, simple strategy for the synthesis and
reactivity of a novel series of chromenopyridine derivatives involving 2,4-diamino-3-carbonitrile
moieties. These new compounds were synthesized in good yields from malononitrile and various
chromene derivatives as a precursor, which was prepared by the reduction of iminocoumarin derivatives.
The formed iminocoumarin was obtained by Knoevenagel condensation from malononitrile and
different aromatic aldehydes. These novel chromenopyridine derivatives were further reacted with
triethyl orthoformate under microwave irradiation to afford the final compounds, namely "chromenopyridine
formimidate." The structures of all molecules were characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C
NMR, and elemental analysis.
