Summary.
New benzo[b]xanthone derivatives, having substituents in the A and D rings, were prepared from cycloaddition reactions of chromone-3-carboxaldehydes with ortho-benzoquinodimethanes, generated in situ from 1,3-dihydrobenzo[c]thiophene 2,2-dioxide, followed by oxidation of the obtained diastereomeric adducts. The structure of all compounds was fully established by 1D and 2D NMR, MS, and elemental analysis. The stereochemistry of the obtained diastereomeric cycloadducts was established by NOESY experiments.
