Functionalized indeno[1,2-b]chromene derivatives have been synthesized via condensation reaction of 1H-indene-1,3(2H)-dione with benzaldehyde and cyclization with 2-hydroxynaphthalene-1,4-dione in the presence of a catalytic amount of triethylamine (Et3N) in EtOH at room temperature. It was observed that benzaldehyde bearing electron donating group gave high yield of product, whereas, benzaldehyde having electronic withdrawing substituent does not participate […]
