Abstract

A one-pot synthesis of new (2-amino-3-cyano-4H-chromen-4-yl) phosphonic acid diethyl ester was achieved in good yields by indium trichloride catalyzed three-component reaction of salicylaldehyde and malononitrile with triethyl phosphite.

(2-Amino-3-cyano-4 H -chromen-4-yl) Phosphonic Acid Diethyl Ester (4a, Table 1, Entry 1); Typical Procedure
To a stirred mixture of salicylaldehyde (1 mmol) and malononitrile (1 mmol) in EtOH, triethyl phosphite, and InCl3 (20 mol%) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at r.t. for the appropriate time (Table  [¹] ). After complete conversion as indicated by TLC, the mixture was poured into ice and extracted with EtOAc. The organic extracts were washed with brine solution, dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated under vacuum to yield pure product 4a.
