Abstract

A quaternary ammonium hydroxide–type of anion exchange resin (Amberlite IRA-400) was found to be an effective and reusable catalyst for the synthesis of various 4H-benzo[b]pyran derivatives via a one-pot, three-component condensation in aqueous media. Short reaction time, easy and quick isolation of the products, environmentally friendly procedure, excellent chemoselectivity, and excellent yields are the main advantages of this procedure.
