Abstract
Substituted tetrahydrochromenes and dihydronaphthofurans are easily accessible by the treatment of β-tetralone with trans-β-nitro styrene derived Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) acetates through a formal [3 + 3]/[3 + 2] annulation. The reaction proceeds through a cascade Michael/oxa-Michael pathway with moderate to good yields. A DFT study was carried out to account for the formation of the corresponding six and five-membered heterocycles via 6-endo-trig and 5-exo-trig cyclization.
