2-Methoxy-2H-chromenes from 2-Bromophenols and 3-Trimethylsilyloxyacroleins The preparation of 2-methoxy-2H-chromenes 6 from 2-bromophenols 1 and 3-trimethylsilyloxyacroleins 4 as C3 anellation reagents is described. Heterocyclization involves C-C linkage of ortho-lithiated 2-phenoxytetrahydropyrans 3 with 3-trimethylsilyloxyacroleins 4, followed by cyclization of the intermediate γ-hydroxysilylenolethers as lithium alkoxides 5, induced by hydrogen chloride in methanol. o-Hydroxycinnamic aldehydes 7 are isolated upon workup with trifluoroacetic acid instead of hydrogen chloride.
