摘要:
A number of 4-aryloxymethyl pyrano[3,2-c][1]benzopyran-5-(2H)-ones 3(a-f) were prepared by refluxing 4-chloromethyl pyrano[3,2c][1] benzopyran-5-(2H)-ones 1(a,b) with o-bromophenols 2(a-c) in acetone in the presence of anhydrous potassium carbonate and sodium iodide in 70-80% yield. Compounds 3(a-f) were then subjected to radical cyclization by refluxing with tri-n-butyltin chloride, sodium cyanoborohydride, and azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) in dry benzene for 4-5 h to give a cis-diastereomeric mixture of [6,6] pyranopyran derivatives in 80-85% yield.
