Abstract

A range of tetrahydrobenzo[b]pyrans have been synthesized in very good yields under solvent‐free conditions by grinding α‐cyanocinnamonitrils or β‐cyano‐β‐carbethoxy styrene and 5,5‐dimethyl‐1,3‐cyclohexanedione in the presence of TEBA as catalyst. The short reaction time, cleaner reaction, and easy workup make this protocol practical and economically attractive.
