TL;DR: In this article, photochromic indeno-fused naphthopyran compounds are described, examples of which are NPHO compounds having a substituted or unsubstituted indeno group.
Abstract: Described are novel photochromic indeno-fused naphthopyran compounds, examples of which are naphthopyran compounds having a substituted or unsubstituted indeno group, the 2,1 positions of which are fused to the f side of the naphtho portion of the naphthopyran, and certain substituents at the 3-position of the pyran ring. Certain substituents may also be present at the number 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, or 13 carbon atoms of the compounds. These compounds may be represented by the following graphic formula: ##STR1## Also described are polymeric organic host materials that contain or that are coated with such compounds. Optically clear articles such as ophthalmic lenses or other plastic transparencies that incorporate the novel naphthopyran compounds or combinations thereof with complementary photochromic compounds, e.g., certain other naphthopyrans, benzopyrans, and spiro(indoline)type compounds, are also described.

TL;DR: The first transition metal catalyzed asymmetric carboalkoxylation reaction of propargyl esters is described and experimental evidence supports a mechanism proceeding via the generation of a stabilized carbocation from an allylic oxonium intermediate and subsequent trapping by a chiral allylgold(I) spieces.
Abstract: The first transition metal catalyzed asymmetric carboalkoxylation reaction of propargyl esters is described. The (R)-MeO-DTBM-BIPHEP(AuCl)2-catalyzed reactions allow for the construction of benzopyrans containing quaternary stereocenters with excellent enantioselectivity. Experimental evidence supports a mechanism proceeding via the generation of a stabilized carbocation from an allylic oxonium intermediate and subsequent trapping by a chiral allylgold(I) spieces.

TL;DR: In this article, reversible photochromic naphthopyran compounds are described, examples of which are 3H-naphtho[2,1-b]pyrans having an acyl or aroyl oxy-bearing substituent at the number 6 carbon atom and certain substituents at the 3 position of the pyran ring.

Certain substituents may also be present at the number 5, 7, 8, 9 or 10 carbon atom of the naphthopyran. These compounds may be represented by graphic formula (I).
