Five (2,2-dimethylchroman-6-yl)alkanoic acids were synthesized and tested for antigelling activities. It was envisioned that these agents might bind via hydrophobic bonding to nonpolar sites of the 'donor-acceptor' regions of hemoglobin S. Several (2,2-di

Three types of reaction, esterification, C-alkenylation, and O-alkenylation, have been observed between the di-anion (4) and 1-bromo-3-methylbut-2-ene (5) in different solvent systems.Our studies of the effect of the medium on the behavior of the di-anion (4) towards electrophilic attack by the bromo-alkene (5) resulted in the synthesis of analogues (2) and (6d) of a known anti-sickling agent (3) in high yiel.The regioselectivity of the alkylation reactions is rationalised in terms of solvent polarity.
