Chromeno[2,3-c]pyrroles by one-pot multicomponent domino addition–amination reactionChromeno[2,3-c]pyrroles by one-pot multicomponent domino addition–amination reaction Peer-Reviewed Journal Publication Δημοσίευση σε Περιοδικό με Κριτές 2015-12-042014enA new aspect concerning chromone chemistry leading to the one-pot synthesis of chromeno[2,3-c]pyrroles is described. The synthesis involves a multicomponent reaction of 3-formylchromones with isocyanides and azodicarboxylates, whereupon novel chromeno[2,3-c]pyrrole derivatives were formed in good yields. The structures of the products were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR experiments and were unambiguously confirmed by the use of crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Full assignment of all 1H and 13C NMR chemical shifts has been achieved. A plausible mechanistic scheme is proposed.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Tetrahedron Letters55415601-5604 Michael A. Terzidis Vassilios G. Tsiaras Nicolaos M. Drosos Paraskevi M.
