In the present paper, twelve chromenes were synthesized by coupling of 2,2,8,8‐tetramethyl‐8 H ‐pyrano[2,3‐ f ]chroman‐4‐one 1 with various aryl and benzylmagnesium chlorides. The synthetic compounds were examined for in‐vitro activity against Leishmania major , and some of them displayed efficient anti‐leishmanial activity. Among the compounds tested, compounds 9 (4‐(2‐chloro‐benzylidene)‐2,2,8,8‐tetramethyl‐3,4‐dihydro‐2 H ,8 H ‐pyrano[2,3‐ f ]chromene 9a and 4‐(2‐chloro‐benzyl)‐2,2,8,8‐tetramethyl‐2 H ,8 H ‐pyrano[2,3‐ f ]chromene 9b ) were the most active with an inhibitory activity of 73.4%.
