Abstract
2,4,6-Trimethylpyrylium perchlorate reacts with heterocyclic compounds containing apyridine nitrogen atom and having basicities higher than 9 pKa units (in acetonitrile) through a step involving the formation of a methylenepyran. 4-Methyl-2,6-diphenyl- and 2-methyl-4,6-diphenylpyrylium perchlorates react with benzimidazole to give 1,2-ethanediylidenebispyrans. Methyl-substituted pyrylium salts react with 2,6-diphenylpyrylium and flavylium perchlorates in the presence of benzimidazole to give methylidynecyanines and with acetic anhydride to give trimethylidynecyanines.
