“…These findings encouraged us to synthesize some new 4‐imino tetrahydrochromeno[2,3‐ d ]pyrimidine derivatives. Therefore, in continuation of our previous works in the synthesis of new heterocyclic compounds with potential biological activities , in this paper, we report a convenient synthesis of new 3,5‐diaryl‐4‐imino‐5,7,8,9‐tetrahydro‐3 H ‐chromeno[2,3‐ d ]pyrimidines 5a , 5b , 5c , 5d , 5e , 5f , 5g , 5h , 5i through a condensation reaction of 2‐amino‐4‐aryl‐3‐cyano‐5,6,7,8‐tetrahydrobenzo[ b ]pyrans 1a , 1b , 1c , 1d with triethyl orthoformate 2 in boiling acetic anhydride obtaining compounds 3a , 3b , 3c , 3d followed by cyclization with primary aryl amines 4a , 4b , 4c , 4d in the presence of a catalytic amount of triethylamine in refluxing ethanol (Scheme ).…”
