The three fused five- and six-membered rings in the title compound, C19H14N2O2S, are virtually coplanar, with the maximum deviation from the mean plane being 0.060 (1) Å. This benzothieno[3,2-b]pyran ring system is nearly perpendicular to the plane of the 4-methoxyphenyl ring, forming a dihedral angle of 83.65 (5)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked by pairs of N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds into inversion dimers. The dimeric units are further connected by an N—H⋯O hydrogen bond into a tape running along the b axis. The tapes are linked together by C—H⋯N and π–π interactions [centroid–centroid distance = 3.7743 (8) Å], forming a three-dimensional network.

In a 100 mL flask equipped with a condenser was dissolved 4 mmol of (Z)-2-(4-methoxybenzylidene)-1-benzo[b]thiophen-3(2H)-one and 5 mmol of malononitrile in 30 mL of ethanol. Then, 1 mL of piperidine was added, and the reaction mixture was refluxed for 6 h. Thin layer
revealed the formation of a single product. The organic phase was evaporated under reduce pressure. The resulting residue was recrystallized from ethanol (yield 77%; m.p. 515 K). Single crystals of the title compound suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained from slow evaporation of an ethanol solution.H atoms were located in a difference map and treated as riding with C—H = 0.96, 0.98 and 0.93 Å for methyl, methine and aromatic, respectively, and N—H = 0.86 Å. The Uiso(H) values were set at 1.2Ueq(C, N) for methine, aromatic and N—H or 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl. The reflection (0 0 1) affected by the beamstop was removed during refinement.
Substituted 2-amino-4-aryl-4H-pyran derivatives are an important class of
which frequently exhibit a wide range of biological properties viz. antiproliferative and antitubercular activities (Panda et al., 1997; Mungra et al., 2011). Thus, in view of the large spectrum of application of these compounds and in continuation of ongoing research focused on the reactivity of the (Z)-2-arylidenebenzo[b]thiophen-3(2H)-ones (thioaurones) (Boughaleb et al., 2010, 2011; Bakhouch et al., 2015), we describe herein the behavior of ethyl cyanoacetate with (Z)-2-(4-methoxybenzylidene)benzo[b]thiophen-3(2H)-one (Bakhouch et al., 2014). Initially the condensation furnish the Michael adducts, which undergoes intramolecular to afford imino-pyran. The subsequent tautomeric transformation gives rise to 2-amino-3-cyano-4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4H-1-benzothieno[3,2-b]pyran.The title molecule is formed by a benzothieno[3,2-b]pyran system linked to the 4-methoxyphenyl ring as shown in Fig. 1. The three fused rings are almost coplanar with a maximum deviation from the mean plane being 0.060 (1) Å at C9. The dihedral angle between the benzothieno[3,2-b]pyran ring system and the mean plane of the 4-methoxyphenyl ring is 83.65( 5)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked by pairs of N—H···N hydrogen bonds into centrosymmetric dimeric units, which are further connected by N—H···O interactions to build tapes along the b axis (Table 1). The tapes are linked together by C—H···N and π–π interactions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.7743 (8) Å] to form a three-dimensional network as shown in Fig. 2.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes. |

Substituted 2-amino-4-aryl-4H-pyran derivatives are an important class of heterocyclic compounds, which frequently exhibit a wide range of biological properties viz. antiproliferative and antitubercular activities (Panda et al., 1997; Mungra et al., 2011). Thus, in view of the large spectrum of application of these compounds and in continuation of ongoing research focused on the reactivity of the (Z)-2-arylidenebenzo[b]thiophen-3(2H)-ones (thioaurones) (Boughaleb et al., 2010, 2011; Bakhouch et al., 2015), we describe herein the behavior of ethyl cyanoacetate with (Z)-2-(4-methoxybenzylidene)benzo[b]thiophen-3(2H)-one (Bakhouch et al., 2014). Initially the condensation furnish the Michael adducts, which undergoes intramolecular cyclization to afford imino-pyran. The subsequent tautomeric transformation gives rise to 2-amino-3-cyano-4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4H-1-benzothieno[3,2-b]pyran.
The title molecule is formed by a benzothieno[3,2-b]pyran system linked to the 4-methoxyphenyl ring as shown in Fig. 1. The three fused rings are almost coplanar with a maximum deviation from the mean plane being 0.060 (1) Å at C9. The dihedral angle between the benzothieno[3,2-b]pyran ring system and the mean plane of the 4-methoxyphenyl ring is 83.65( 5)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked by pairs of N—H···N hydrogen bonds into centrosymmetric dimeric units, which are further connected by N—H···O interactions to build tapes along the b axis (Table 1). The tapes are linked together by C—H···N and π–π interactions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.7743 (8) Å] to form a three-dimensional network as shown in Fig. 2.
