2H-1-Benzopyran and derivatives have been prepared by an intramolecular Wittig reaction in a heterogeneous medium starting from salicylaldehyde, (2-hydroxyalkyl)triphenylphosphonium salts, and potassium carbonate. Extension of this reaction to various o-hydroxyformylpyridines were performed in order to obtain 2H-pyrano[3,2-b]pyridine, 2H-pyrano[2, 3-c]pyridine, and derivatives.
