6- pyrans are prepared from the appropriate 4-substituted 2H-naphtho[1,2-b]pyran-2-ones and either methylmagnesium iodide or phenylmagnesium bromide; some related compounds and derivatives are also prepared and dimerisation of cylized products from the methylmagnesium iodide reactions affords dimers including a relative of isolapachenole through addition reactions of the intermediate carbonium ion.
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.
