Graphical Abstract

Abstract

A novel multicomponent synthesis was found to be an efficient and elegant approach to 2,4-difunctionalized benzopyrans. This sequence includes ZnMe2-promoted alkynylation of salicylaldehyde and ZnCl2-mediated [4+2] cyclization proceeding in sequence of a one-pot process, providing a series of benzopyrans with good diastereoselectivities and moderate yields (dr 20:1 to 4:1). These products are potential precursors and bioactive core skeletons of natural products.
