An efficient and convenient synthesis of substituted 4H‐chromenes is described using room temperature ionic liquid (RTIL) choline chloride–urea in one pot under solvent free conditions. Three‐component Knoevenagel condensation of an aromatic aldehyde, with an active methylene compound, and a cyclohexane dione is reported. This new approach has advantage of excellent yields (82–96%), clean reaction, and short reaction time (15–30 min) at room temperature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
