A convenient strategy is presented for the easy preparation of a series of 2 H-chromenes under mild conditions through iodocyclization of readily accessible propynols. In addition, various 4-chromanones can be synthesized through a p-toluenesulfonic acid catalyzed cascade cyclization with high efficiency (yields up to 99%). Our developed reaction systems are proven to have good functional-group applicability and can be scaled up to gram quantities in satisfactory yields. These systems also provide a new synthetic strategy for two types of important flavonoid skeleton without using costly and toxic metal catalysts. Additionally, the resulting halides could be further exploited in subsequent palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions, so these compounds could act as potential intermediates for the construction of some valuable drug molecules.

Photochromic bisnaphthopyrans linked with oligothiophenes were synthesized and their photochromic behavior studied. Sequential and temperature-dependent photochromism was observed in the oligothiophene linked bisnaphthopyrans. The kinetics of photo and thermal processes in bisnaphthopyrans in comparison with naphthopyrans were studied, Substituent and linking effects on the photochromic properties are discussed. We demonstrate that the cross-talk between the two photochromophores is dependent on the length of the oligothiophene linker. The presence of the bithiophene linker led to high colorability and high quantum yield of coloration.
