Abstract

In the presence of SnCl4, 2,3-dimethoxycarbonylmethanochromanone (4) was transformed into a zwitter-ion which easily reacted with aldehydes to give the trans-fused tetrahydrofuro[2,3-b][1]benzopyranones in good yields with high diastereoselectivity. cis-Fused furobenzopyranone derivatives were also obtained in good yields by isomerization of the trans isomers.
