• IR spectra of compounds 5a–6d containing an alkoxyfuropyran fragment shows that in the case of methyl esters 5a, 6a, and 6c the absorption band of the alkoxycarbonyl function is shifted to a lower frequency region (1714–1721 cm−1), while ethyl esters 5b, 6b, and 6d are characterized by higher

• frequency values (1725–1731 cm−1). This observation may be due to the position of the ester fragment relative to the heterocyclic system. The analysis of the results of X-ray diffraction analysis shows that the torsion angle C(10)–C(3)–C(16)–O(17) of methyl esters 5a and 6c is −0.8(2), and 5(2)°, and of
