Abstract

The reaction of 4-fluoro-3-nitrobenzylidene malononitrile (3) with piperidine and 1-naphthol yields the addition-elimination product (9) rather than the expected naphtho[1,2-b]pyran (7). This reaction is extended to produce other 3,4-disubstituted benzylidenemalononitriles (10)-(13). These compounds are then reacted with 1-naphthol and 4-methylmorpholine producing the naphtho[1,2-b]pyrans (14)-(17).
