The synthesis of various tetrahydrobenzo[b]pyran derivatives has been carried out by means of an uncatalyzed, three-component, one-pot clean condensation of aromatic aldehydes, reactive methylene compounds, and dimidone in aqueous medium. Simple workup, and mild and neutral conditions that give quantitative yields of products in pure form, are the attractive features of this method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
