One-pot synthesis of 3-(furan-2-yl)-4H-chromen-4-ones from 1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)butane-1,3-diones and 2,5-dimethoxy-2,5-dihydrofuran catalyzed via K10 montmorillonite under solvent-free conditions
A new, concise and efficient method of one-potsynthesis of 3-(furan-2-yl)-4H-chromen-4-ones was developed using K10 montmorillonite catalysis undersolvent-freeconditions.
divergent synthesis of chromones and chromanones from a common substrate via reductive coupling cyclization by switching hydrosilanes has been developed. Results of mechanistic studies revealed that under PhMeSiH conditions, the reaction initially undergone cyclization to form chromones , which can subsequently be reduced to yield chromanones . When the hydrosilane was switched to EtSiH, the reaction route
