A convenient one-pot synthesis of chromenes is described. It results from simultaneous addition and cyclization of differently parasubstituted monophenols and aldehydes of isoprenic type (5 or 10 carbons), heated for several hours in refluxing pyridine (or 4-methylpyridine).
A Novel Method for the Synthesis of Substituted Benzochromenes by Ethylenediamine Diacetate-Catalyzed Cyclizations of Naphthalenols toα,β-Unsaturated Aldehydes. Concise Synthesis of the Natural Products Lapachenole, Dihydrolapachenole, and Mollugin

benzochromenes was developed starting from naphthalenols and α,β-unsaturated aldehydes in the presence of ethylenediamine diacetate. This methodology was applied for the total synthesis of the biologically important natural products lapachenole, dihydrolapachenole, and mollugin with a benzochromene moiety.
