Preparation of 2-(4-Oxo-4 H -1-benzopyran-3-yl)-4-( N -cyclohexylimino)pyrano[3,4- b ]-1-benzopyran-10-ones 4a-c Cyclohexyl isocyanide (0.065 g, 0.6 mmol) was added to a solution of 1 (1 mmol) in MeCN (15 mL). The resultant mixture was heated under reflux for 30 min when a solid began to separate. The reaction mixture was cooled, and the separated solid was filtered off. The solid was further crystallised from chloroform-light PE (4:1) to afford a yellowish green solid.
