TL;DR: The structure of five alkyl substituted variants of 1 that are also present in smoke are reported, and the analogue of 3,5-dimethyl-2H-furo[2,3-c]pyran-2-one was identified at levels that indicate that it is a contributor to the overall germination-promoting activity of crude smoke extracts.
Abstract: The butenolide, 3-methyl-2H-furo[2,3-c]pyran-2-one (1), is a major compound in smoke responsible for promoting the seed germination of a wide range of plant species. We now report the structure of five alkyl substituted variants of 1 that are also present in smoke. The concentrations of these analogues, as well as that of 1, in a typical smoke−water solution have been determined using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) purification followed by gas chromatography−mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. The analogue, 3,5-dimethyl-2H-furo[2,3-c]pyran-2-one (3), was identified at levels that indicate that it is a contributor to the overall germination-promoting activity of crude smoke extracts.

TL;DR: In this article, a three-component reaction of aldehydes, dimedone, malononitrile in 20% ethanol using anhydrous potassium phosphate as a catalyst at room temperature is described.
Abstract: An efficient, rapid, one-pot synthesis of tetrahydrobenzo[b]pyran is achieved via a three-component reaction of aldehydes, 1,3-diketone, malononitrile in 20% ethanol using anhydrous potassium phosphate as a catalyst at room temperature. The key advantages are the short reaction time, high yields, simple work-up, inexpensive catalyst and purification of products by non-chromatographic methods, i.e. by simple recrystallization from ethanol.

TL;DR: Merocyanines where a polyenic spacer separates a 4H-pyran-4-ylidene moiety and different strong organic acceptors have been synthesized with weakly alternated structures and remarkably zwitterionic ground states, with a partial aromatic character that is compared to those of other pyran derivatives.
Abstract: Merocyanines where a polyenic spacer separates a 4H-pyran-4-ylidene moiety and different strong organic acceptors have been synthesized. According to NMR studies and X-ray diffraction data, these compounds have weakly alternated structures and remarkably zwitterionic ground states, with a partial aromatic character that is compared to those of other pyran derivatives. The proaromaticity of the 4H-pyran-4-ylidene donor lies behind the cyanine-like behavior and low (positive or negative) second-order optical nonlinearities of the shorter derivatives. On the other hand, lengthening the π-spacer gives rise to rapidly increasing μβ1907 values up to 17,400 × 10−48 esu.

TL;DR: In this article, a simple, clean, and environmentally benign three-component process for the synthesis of 4H-benzo[b]pyran derivatives using basic ionic liquid N,N-dimethylaminoethylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride ([PhCH2Me2N+CH2CH2NMe2]Cl−) as an efficient catalyst under solvent-free condition is described.
Abstract: A simple, clean, and environmentally benign three-component process for the synthesis of 4H-benzo[b]pyran derivatives using basic ionic liquid N,N-dimethylaminoethylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride ([PhCH2Me2N+CH2CH2NMe2]Cl−) as an efficient catalyst under solvent-free condition is described. A wide range of aromatic aldehydes easily undergoes condensation with malononitrile and 5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione (dimedone) under solvent-free condition to afford the desired products of good purity in excellent yields. Taking into account environmental and economical considerations, the protocol presented here has the merits of environmentally benign, simple operation, convenient workup, and good yields. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

TL;DR: A variety of alpha,beta-unsaturated 1,3-diketones cyclize to 2, 3-dihydro-4H-pyran-4-ones in an acidic aqueous medium, with exceptions being alpha, beta-uns saturated 1,2-dicketones in which the beta carbon is substituted by a phenyl group.
Abstract: A variety of α,β-unsaturated 1,3-diketones cyclize to 2,3-dihydro-4H-pyran-4-ones in an acidic aqueous medium, with exceptions being α,β-unsaturated 1,3-diketones in which the β carbon is substituted by a phenyl group. Addition of 1-butanamine to the reaction medium results in the formation of 2,3-dihydro-4-pyridinones, which appear to arise via an initial 1,4-addition of the amine to the α,β-unsaturated 1,3-diketones.

TL;DR: A facile and efficient diastereoselective one-pot synthesis of polycyclic acetal-fused pyrano[3,2-c]pyrane-5(2H)-one and pyranopyrones demonstrated anticancer activities.
Abstract: A facile and efficient diastereoselective one-pot synthesis of polycyclic acetal-fused pyrano[3,2-c]pyrane-5(2H)-one was achieved through the annulation reaction of 2-C-formyl glycals with various 4-hydroxycoumarins and 4-hydroxy-6-methyl-2H-pyran-2-one. The asymmetric induction was significantly influenced by the C-4 stereogenic center of 2-C-formyl glycals. The resulting polycyclic acetal-fused pyranopyrones demonstrated anticancer activities.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Seven new title compounds are produced from commercial dehydroacetic acid converted into 4-hydroxy-6-methylpyridin-2(1H)-one, which was then condensed with several aliphatic aldehydes to produce seven new titles compounds in variable yields.
Abstract: Commercial dehydroacetic acid was converted into 4-hydroxy-6-methylpyridin-2(1H)-one (3), which was then condensed with several aliphatic aldehydes to produce seven new title compounds in variable yields (35–92%). Reaction of 3 with α,β-unsaturated aldehydes resulted in the formation of condensed pyran derivatives 4g' and 4h'. A mechanism is proposed to explain the formation of such compounds. The effects of all methylpyridin-2(1H)-one derivatives on the development of the dicotyledonous species Ipomoea grandifolia and Cucumis sativus and the monocotyledonous species Sorghum bicolor were evaluated. At the dose of 6.7 × 10-8 mol a.i./g substrate the compounds showed some phytotoxic selectivity, being more active against the dicotyledonous species. These compounds can be used as lead structures for the development of more active phytotoxic products.
