Good yields of six 1H-chromeno[2,3-d]pyrimidine-5-carboxamides were obtained via the two-stage, one-pot reaction of an alkyl isocyanide with the initially formed condensation product of 1,3-dimethyl barbituric acid and a salicylaldehyde under solvent-free conditions at ambient temperature. This procedure has a number of advantages, such as short reaction time and easy work-up. Also, the present method does not involve any hazardous organic solvent.
