Abstract: Three derivatives of 3,3'-methylene-bis(7,8-diphenyl-4-hydroxy-2H-furo[2,3-g]-[1]-benzopyran-2-one) were prepared as dicoumarole analogues by condensation of 7,8-diphenyl-4-hydroxy-2H-furo[2,3-g]-[1]-benzopyran-2-one (II) with aliphatic and/or aromatic aldehydes. Cyclization of these products with o-hydroxy aldehydes or acetic anhydride afforded the related fused ring systems of two types. Synthesis of additional members of these oxygen-containing ring systems was effected either by oxidative coupling of compound II with catechol in the presence of potassium iodate, or by interaction with salicylidenacetone and acyclic or cyclic β-keto esters, respectively. Chemical structure of these products was confirmed on the basis of spectral analyses.
