Abstract
The reaction of 4-hydroxycoumarin with Meldrum’s acid and benzaldehydes in aqueous media in the presence of proline (10 mol%) led to 4-aryl-3,4-dihydro-2H,5H-pyrano[3,2-c]chromene-2,5-diones in good yields.

4-Phenyl-3,4-dihydro-2 H ,5 H -pyrano[3,2- c ]chromene-2,5-dione (4a) To a stirred solution of benzaldehyde (0.21 g, 2 mmol) and Meldrum’s acid (0.29 g, 2 mmol) in 50% aq EtOH (10 mL) were added 4-hydroxycoumarin (0.32 g, 2 mmol) and proline (11.5 mg, 10 mol%). The reaction mixture was stirred at reflux for 40 min. After completion of the reaction (monitored by TLC), the precipitate was collected by filtration and washed by cold 50% aq EtOH (5 mL) to afford 4a, yield 0.55 g (94%); white powder; mp 169-171 °C.
