Abstract
An efficient approach for the synthesis of functionalized tetrahydro-4H-chromenes 3a-c and
tetrahydro-4H-thiopyran 3d-e derivatives moderate to high yields have been achieved via a addition-cyclization
reaction of α, β-Unsaturated cyanoesters 1a-c with dimedone 2p or 1, 3-cyclohexandione 2q in presence of
sodium ethoxide and Benzaldehyde with 2-propanol in presence of ammonium sulphide respectively. This
methodology differs from the previous classical methods in its simplicity and ready availability of the catalyst.
The structures of the compounds 3a-e were confirmed by their ultraviolet, infrared, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and
elemental analyses.
