Overview
abstract
2H-Chromenes were synthesized from salicylaldehyde using potassium vinylic borates in the presence of secondary amines. We synthesized these 2H-chromene derivatives as a part of an ongoing project to develop inhibitors for TGF-β receptors. Potassium vinyl trifluoroborates react with salicylaldehydes at 80 °C in the presence of a secondary amine and produced 2-substituted 2H-chromene derivatives with a 70-90% yield.
