Allene-1,3-dicarboxylic esters and acids have been converted into chromenes, chromones, an α-pyrone and a coumarin by reactions with phenols and to quinolones by reaction with aniline derivatives.A novel chromene --> coumarin rearrangement is also reported.The E and Z stereochemistries of the products have been assigned by n.m.r. measurements.Steric and thermodynamic factors are discussed to account for stereocontrol in product formation.
