Abstract

Abstract An facile and green one-pot route has been developed for the synthesis of chromenes using salicylaldehyde and α, β-unsaturated ketones. α-Amylase from Bacillus subtilis shows excellent catalytic activity and exerts good adaptability to different substrates in the reaction. This promiscuous enzyme-catalyzed domino reaction not only extends the application of α-amylase from B. subtilis for new chemical transformations, but also ...
