A mild, efficient, and environmentally benign protocol for the synthesis of tetrahydrobenzo[b]pyran derivatives in the presence of readily accessible, biodegradable, and choline hydroxide based ionic liquid as catalyst has been established. The key features of the reported methodology include good to excellent yields of desired products, simple work-up procedure and good recyclability of cataly...

The multicomponent reaction (MCR) of aromatic aldehydes 1 and malononitrile (2) with active methylenes 5a-h in the presence of L-proline produced pyrans and thiopyrans 6a-h stereospecifically and in good yields. Moreover a novel MCR of ethyl propiolate (8) with 1 and 2 in the presence of L-proline to afford (R)-polysubstituted pyran is also reported. X-ray structures, e.e. and optical activity ...

1,1,3-Triarylpent-4-en-1-yn-3-ols, efficiently obtained in two steps from 1,1,3-triarylprop-2-yn-1-ols by a Meyer-Schuster rearrangement and subsequent addition of lithium trimethylsilylacetylide, react with either a 1- or 2- naphthol to afford photochromic 1,1-diarylvinyl substituted naphtho[1,2-b]- or naphtho[2,1-b]-pyrans respectively. Irradiation of solutions of these naphthopyrans results ...

The six-membered thio-pyran ring in the title compound, C(24)H(19)BrS, adopts an approximate envelope conformation, with the S atom displaced by 0.26 (1) Å and the 2-methyl-ene C atom by -0.54 (1) Å from the plane of the other four sp(2)-hydridized C atoms. The methyl substituent on the methyl-ene carbon lies in a pseudo-axial position with the phenyl ring in a pseudo-equatorial position.

In the title compound, C(18)H(14)N(2)O(2), the pyran ring of the chromeno ring system has a half-chair conformation, and the dihedral angle between its mean plane and the benzene ring is 5.3 (2)°. The isoxazole ring forms a dihedral angle of 74.6 (2)° with the attached benzene ring and is inclined to the mean plane of the chromeno ring system by 15.06 (19)°. In the crystal, there are no signifi...

In the title compound, C(6)H(6)O(4), inter- and intra-molecular hydrogen bonds are observed which help to establish the crystal structure. There are weak π-π interactions between pyran rings separated by 3.5692 (9) Å.

In the title compound, C(15)H(23)N(3)O(4), the six-membered pyran, cyclo-hexane and trioxane rings adopt chair, chair and boat conformations, respectively, while the seven-membered rings adopt distorted boat and very distorted chair conformations. In the crystal, adjacent mol-ecules are connected by weak C-H⋯N and C-H⋯O inter-actions.

New indeno[1,2-c]pyran-3-ones bearing different substituents at the pyran moiety were synthesized and their photophysical properties were investigated. In solution all compounds were found to be blue emitters and the trans isomers exhibited significantly higher fluorescence quantum yields (relative to 9,10-diphenylanthracene) as compared to the corresponding cis isomers. The solid-state fluores...

The title compound, C11H10O3, is a phenyl-subsituted dihydro-pyran-dione in which the heterocycle adopts a boat conformation with the phenyl substituent canted 72.14 (5)° relative to the mean plane of the heterocycle.
