Abstract

This invention relates to a solvent process for the conversion of aromatic propargyl ethers into chromenes. The process can be catalyzed with copper or zinc salts. The preferred salt is cuprous chloride. The most preferred solvent is a dichlorobenzene. The invention also relates to chromene products formed using the process and to the polymerization of that chromene product and its polymerized product, the latter product having substantially improved flexural modulus and flexural strength properties. The polymerized product is also moisture insensitive.
