Abstract

The nucleophilic addition of acetylacetone and ethyl acetoacetate at the double bond of 3-nitro-2-trihalomethyl-2H-chromenes in the presence of NaH affords 2,3,4-trisubstituted chromanes containing the β-dicarbonyl fragment at position 4. The trans-trans configuration and the enol structure of the reaction products were confirmed by 1H NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. Treatment of these compounds with hydrazine gives the corresponding 3-nitro-4-(pyrazol-4-yl)-2-trihalomethylchromanes. The reactions of 3-nitro-2-trihalomethyl-2H-chromenes with nitromethane and nitroethane in the presence of K2CO3 produce 1,3-dinitro derivatives of the chromane series.
