title: N-Heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed intramolecular aldehyde-nitrile cross coupling: an easy access to 3- aminochromones.
abstract: An immense effort has been made to develop an efficient strategy for the carbon-carbon bond formation between aldehyde and nitrile intramolecularly using an N-heterocyclic carbene catalyst to derive 3-aminochromone derivatives in good to excellent yields (80-95%).
