Synthesis of some new 2,2-dimethylchromens related to phloroglucinol
Abstract
Pyridine or pyridinium hydrochloride catalysed condensation of 3-hydroxyisovaleraldehyde dimethyl acetal with phloroacetophenone gave six characterisable products all containing the 2,2-dimethylchromen ring system, including the tricyclic pyranochromen (I).
