Reactions of 6-acetyl-7-hydroxy-3,4-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-2H-benzopyran (I) and 8-acetyl-7-hydroxy-5-methoxy-3,4-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-2H-benzopyran (II) with 4-methoxybenzoyl chloride and 3,4-methylenedioxybenzoyl chloride give the respective o-aroyloxyacetyldihydrobenzopyrans (III, VI, IX and XII).These on Baker-Venkataraman rearrangement in the presence of pyridine and KOH afford the diaroylmethanes (IV, VII, X and XIII), which undergo cyclisation in the presence of glacial acetic acid and fused sodium acetate to the corresponding dihydropyranoflavones (V, VIII, XI and XIV).
