In the title compound, C 24 H 24 N 2 O 6 , the mean planes of the pyran rings (A and B) are inclined to one another by 69.2 (1) , while the aromatic ring (D) of the chromene ring system makes dihedral angles of 63.42 (11) and 66.81 (12) with the pyrimidine (C) and benzene (E) rings, respectively. Pyran ring A has an halfchair conformation, while pyran ring B has an envelope conformation, with the spiro C atom as the flap. In the crystal, molecules are linked by C-HÁ Á ÁO hydrogen bonds, forming a supramolecular three-dimensional network. There are also a number of C-HÁ Á Á interactions present.
Structure descriptionChromenes are used in the fields of medicine, cosmetics and as fluorescent dyes. 2-Oxo-2H-chromenes are efficient fluorophores characterized by good emission quantum yields and are used as materials for lasers in organic light-emitting devices, non-linear optical chromeophores and fluorescent labels (Sreenivasa et al
