Abstract Five 2-aroyl-3-aryl-5H-furo [3, 2-g] chromene derivatives have been synthesized, and their structures were characterized by IR, NMR, ESI-MS and elemental analysis. The crystal structure for 2-benzoyl-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-6, 7-dihydro-5H-furo [3, 2-g] chromene has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. X-ray analysis reveals that the pyran ring adopts a half-chair conformation, while the fused furo [3, 2-g] chromene ring is ...
