Abstract

FeCl3–SiO2 is environment-friendly heterogeneous catalyst for the condensation of kojic acid and aldehydes with dimedone to afford dihydropyrano[3,2-b]chromenediones. The solid acid catalyst is stable and can be easily recovered and reused without appreciable change in its efficiency.

Keywords: Dihydropyrano[3,2-b]chromenediones; Kojic acid; FeCl3–SiO2; Aldehydes; Heterogeneous catalysis; Synthetic methods.
