摘要

An efficient two-step method was described for the synthesis of chromeno[3',4':5,6]pyrano[2,3-b]indole derivatives. The three-component reaction of 4-hydroxycoumarin, variously substituted benzaldehydes and indolin-2-one was promoted by P2O5 in refluxing ethanol to give trimolecular adducts, which were then cyclized in 1,2-dichloroethane under reflux using POCl3.
