     A new ionic liquid, 3-hydroxypropanaminium acetate (HPAA) [H₃N⁺-CH₂-CH₂-CH₂-OH][CH₃COO^-], was synthesized for the first time and used as an efficient and recoverable catalyst in the synthesis of 2-amino-5-oxo-4,5-dihydropyrano[3,2-c]chromene-3-carbonitrile derivatives by condensing together 4-hydroxycoumarin, aldehydes and malononitrile at room temperature. The catalyst can be reused for four times without noticeable loss of activity.
