A Pd-mediated new strategy to functionalized 2-aminochromenes: Their in vitro evaluation as potential anti tuberculosis agents

A multi component based synthesis involving palladium catalyzed C–C bond forming reaction has been developed as a new strategy to access systematically modified functionalized 2-aminochromenes. This MCR involves the use of bromobenzaldehyde as a key component and is highlighted by generating a new compound library. Many of these compounds showed Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv chorismate mutase inhibiting properties in vitro representing the lead example of chorismate mutase inhibition by heteroarene based compounds.
