• ], in the presence of a nucleophilic species. Recently, we applied this idea to the rearrangement of 1-indanyl hydroperoxides into 2-substituted chromane derivatives, involving the nucleophilic allylation of the rearranged oxocarbenium intermediate (Scheme 1b) [12][13]. Furthermore, it is interesting to

• search for new methodologies towards the rapid assembly of chromene analogs is of utmost importance for many researchers. In this regard, 3-nitrochromenes are easily available building blocks for chromene and chromane derivatives and are highly reactive due to the presence of the nitroalkene moiety

• skeleton is found in a myriad of medicinally important compounds that have a broad range of biological activities [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. Consequently, the synthesis of chromane derivatives has attracted the attention of synthetic chemists over the years [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15

• ][16][17]. Among the reported methodologies for the synthesis of chromane derivatives, the reaction of salicylaldehyde and enolates or their equivalents has gained a prominent position. The key features of the synthesis of chromane derivatives by the reaction of salicylaldehyde and enolates are
