CAS: 953802-74-9

2-Amino-4H-chromene-3-carbonitrile is a synthetic compound that is used to synthesize the methyl ketones commonly found in natural products. It can be prepared by an asymmetric synthesis involving organocatalytic reactions of aldehydes and ketones. This molecule has been shown to react with nucleophiles such as water, alcohols, and amines, exhibiting bifunctional behavior. The reaction mechanism for this process starts with nucleophilic attack on the carbonyl group of the chromene ring, followed by elimination of water or alcohol from the double bond of the resulting enol form. In this process, it is hypothesized that two molecules are formed: one that contains an unsaturated ketone (alkenone) and one that contains an unsaturated methyl ketone (alkylketone).
