Thermolysis of Chlorovinyl Imines as an Alternate Route for the Synthesis of Pyranoquinolin‐3‐one and Pyranoacridin‐3‐one Derivatives

Synthesis of 3 H ‐pyrano[3,2‐ f ]quinolin‐3‐one and 3 H ‐benzo[ h ]pyrano[3,2‐ a ]acridin‐3‐one derivatives are described by the thermolysis of suitable chlorovinyl imine derivatives. The chlorovinyl imines were obtained by condensation of suitable β‐chloro‐α,β‐unsaturated aldehydes and 6‐aminocoumarin in methanol at 15°C. Compounds showed blue fluorescence in alkaline medium.
