Silica?bonded N?propylpiperazine sodium n?propionate (SBPPSP) was found to act as an efficient solid base for the preparation of a series of 4H?benzo[b]pyran derivatives. SBPPSP was used as a recyclable heterogeneous solid base catalyst for the synthesis of 3,4?dihydropyrano[c]chromenes, 2?amino?4H?pyrans, 1,4?dihydropyrano[2,3?c]pyrazoles, and 2?amino?4H?benzo[e]?chromenes via the condensation reaction of dimedone, ethyl acetoacetate, 3?methyl?1?phenyl?1H?pyrazol?5(4H)? one, and ??naphthol, respectively, with aromatic aldehydes and malononitrile in refluxing aqueous ethanol. The heterogeneous solid base showed similar efficiency when reused in consecutive reactions.
