Abstract

A process applicable to the preparation of a wide variety of novel polycyclic heterocycles having a newly-formed pyran ring is disclosed. According to the process an aromatic nucleus bearing an ethanol group, for example, 3,4-dimethoxyphenethyl alcohol, is condensed with an aldehyde or ketone or a protected aldehyde or ketone, for example, aminoactaldehyde diethyl acetal, in the presence of an acid catalyst to afford the polycyclic heterocycle, for example, 6,7-dimethoxy-1-isochromanmethylamine. The new heterocycles so formed are useful for preparing derivatives having antiinflammatory, antibacterial or antifungal activities.
