“…Because of the aboved mentioned very important characteristics, various synthetic procedures have been reported for the synthesis of tetrahydro‐4 H ‐chromenes and pyrano[2,3‐ d ]pyrimidinones using acidic and basic catalysts such as metformin‐modified silica‐coated magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) (Fe 3 O 4 /SiO 2 ‐Met), Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 /DABCO, γ‐Fe 2 O 3 @HAp Si(CH 2 ) 3 AMP, high surface area MgO, N‐ methylimidazole, tetrabutylammonium bromide, trisodium citrate, p ‐dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid, poly (4‐ vinylpyridine), potassium phthalimide‐ N ‐oxyl, [cmmim]Br and [cmmim][BF4], choline chloride (ChCl), starch solution, (diacetoxyiodo)benzene (DIB) (for the synthesis of tetrahydro‐4 H ‐chromenes), diammonium hydrogen phosphate (DAHP), L ‐proline, KAl(SO 4 ) 2 .12H 2 O (alum), tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB), DABCO, sulfonic acid nanoporous silica (SBA‐Pr‐SO 3 H), Al‐HMS‐20, Nano‐ sawdust‐ OSO 3 H, ZnO‐supported copper oxide, succinimidinium hydrogensulfate ([H‐Suc] HSO 4 ) and [H 2 ‐DABCO][H 2 PO 4 ] 2 (for the synthesis of pyrano[2,3‐ d ]pyrimidinones). However, aforementioned methods suffer from some drawbacks such as low yields, extended reaction times, harsh reaction conditions, tedious work‐up procedures, toxic solvents and application of the expensive or unavailable catalyst.…”
