Microwave-assisted solvent and catalyst free synthesis of 2H-Pyrans

This paper describes a simple and efficient method involving domino Knovenegal/6π electrocyclization for the preparation of a variety of 2H-pyrans using microwave irradiation under solvent- and catalyst-free conditions. This method offers the advantages of a green approach, high yields, and short reaction times. Sixteen compounds (9a-p) were obtained in good to excellent yields using the procedure.

Metal-free Bronsted acid catalyzed formal [3 + 3] annulation. Straightforward synthesis of dihydro-2H-chromenones, pyranones, and tetrahydroquinolinones

(Chemical Equation Presented) Bronsted acids catalyze the addition of enolizable β-diketones, β-ketoesters, and vinylogous amides to α,β-unsaturated aldehydes to lead to substituted chromenones, pyranones, and tetrahydroquinolinones in good yields under mild reaction conditions via a formal [3 + 3] cycloaddition.

A formal [3 + 3] cycloaddition reaction. Improved reactivity using α,β-unsaturated iminium salts and evidence for reversibility of 6π-electron electrocyclic ring closure of 1-oxatrienes

A detailed account regarding a formal [3 + 3] cycloaddition method using 4-hydroxy-2-pyrones and 1,3-diketones is described here. This formal cycloaddition reaction or annulation reaction is synthetically useful for constructing 2H-pyranyl heterocycles. T
