THE TITLE COMPOUND (SYSTEMATIC NAME 4-{[(2E)-5-hydr-oxy-3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-dien-1-yl]-oxy}-7H-furo[3,2-g][1]benzopyran-7-one), C(21)H(22)O(5), is a known furan-ocoumarin, which was isolated from the Chinese herbal product Radix seu Rhizoma Notopterygii. The crystal structure shows a weak O-H⋯O hydrogen bond.

The synthesis of new 3-dithiocarbamic flavonoids has been accomplished by the reaction of the corresponding 2-hydroxyaryl dithiocarbamates with aminals. These flavonoids were obtained as a mixture of diastereoisomers, the anti isomer being the major one. The heterocyclization of these compounds provided novel tricyclic flavonoids bearing a 1,3-dithiolium-2-yl ring fused at the 3,4-carbon positi...

This review covers the construction of drug-like 2H-benzopyrans and related libraries using solid-phase parallel synthesis. In this context, the preparation of substituted benzopyrans such as mono-, di- and trisubstituted benzopyran derivatives and additional ring-fused benzopyrans such as benzopyranoisoxazoles, benzopyranopyrazoles, six-membered ring-fused benzopyrans, and polycyclic benzopyra...

Vinylogous esters bearing para or meta methoxy benzyl groups undergo oxidative cyclisation with 5-20 mol% iodobenzene and m-CPBA to give spirofuran or benzopyran containing heterocycles. The reaction allows rapid generation of skeletal complexity in good to excellent yields via a novel oxidative cyclisation.

In the title compound, C(26)H(12)FNO(6), the central pyran ring and both benzopyran systems are nonplanar, having total puckering amplitudes of 0.139 (2), 0.050 (1) and 0.112 (2) Å, respectively. The central pyran ring adopts a boat conformation. The crystal structure is stabilized by C-H⋯O, N-H⋯O, N-H⋯F and C-H⋯π inter-actions.

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C(19)H(17)Cl(2)NO, the indoline and benzopyran ring systems are approximately perpendicular to each other. The indoline ring is in an envelope conformation with the spiro C atom as the flap. The N atom of the indoline ring forms a pyramidal environment, the sum of the angles at this atom being 352.46°.

The crystal structure of the title compound, C(11)H(7)BrN(2)O(6), establishes the substitution positions of the nitro groups from the nitration reaction of 7-methyl-4-bromo-methyl coumarin. The mean planes of the nitro groups form dihedral angles of 43.9 (8) and 52.7 (10)° with the essentially planar [maximum deviation 0.031 (6) Å] benzopyran ring system.

A novel constituent, shamimicin, 1"', 1"""'-bis-2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-3,4-dihydro-3,7-dihydroxy-5-O-xylopyranosyloxy-2H-1-benzopyran along with lupeol, which possesses potent hypotensive activity, has been isolated from Bombax ceiba stem bark. BCBMM--one of the most active hypotensive fractions has revealed its adverse effects on heart, liver and kidneys of mice at the dose of 1000 mg/kg/d.

In the title compound, C(15)H(10)O(2), a 3-phenyl derivative of the coumarin (also known as 2H-chromen-2-one or 2H-1-benzopyran-2-one) scaffold, the C(p)-C(p)-C(c)-C(c) torsion angle between the coumarin (c) ring system and the phenyl (p) ring is -47.6 (2)°.

A small library of glyco-fused benzopyran compounds has been synthesised. Their interaction features with Aβ peptides have been characterised by using STD-NMR and trNOESY experiments. The conformational analysis of the compounds has also been carried out through molecular mechanics (MM) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations.
