Abstract
A simple, clean, and environmentally benign three-component process for the synthesis of 2-
amino-4Hchromenes using [mim]Cl, as an efficient catalyst under solvent-free conditions are
described. A wide range of aromatic aldehydes would easily undergo condensations with 1-
naphthol and malononitrile under solvent-free conditions in order to afford the desired products
of good purity in excellent yields. Taking into account the environmental and economical con-
siderations, the protocol presented here has the merits of environmentally benign, simple opera-
tion, convenient work-up and good yields. Furthermore, the catalyst can be easily recovered and
reused for at least five cycles without losing its activities.
