Abstract

The synthesis, under microwave irradiation, of a series of polyfunctionalised 1H-and 4H- chromenes in water in the presence of tricaprylmethylammonium bromide (Aliquat 336) as the catalyst is reported. This method has the advantages of high yields, neutral and inexpensive medium, simple work-up procedure and environmental friendliness.
