Chromenes and quinolines are recognized as important scaffolds in medicinal chemistry. Herein, the efficient use of chromene- and quinoline-3-carbaldehydes to synthesize other valuable heterocycles is described. These carbaldehydes are obtained in excellent yields through the Vilsmeyer-Haack reaction of flavanones and azaflavanones. Protocols towards the synthesis of new heterocycles, such as 3H-chromeno[3–c]quinolines, (Z/E)-2-aryl-4-chloro-3-styryl-2H-chromenes, and
more » ... lquinoline-1(2H)-carbaldehydes were established. Altogether, we demonstrate the value of chromene- and quinoline-3-carbaldehydes as building blocks.
