The synthesis of the unsymmetrical triarylmethine dyes 4 derived from a lithiated naphthopyran and diaryl ketones is reported. In toluene solution 4 display a typical reversible photochromic response becoming coloured upon irradiation with UV light and fa

(Equation presented) Photochromic pyrans, including [3H]naphtho[2,1-b] pyrans, [2H]naphtho[1,2-b]pyrans, indeno-fused naphtho[1,2-b]pyrans, and heteroannulated pyrans, were synthesized in excellent yields through a facile one-pot procedure by reaction of propargyl alcohol and naphthol or phenol derivatives in the presence of 5 mol% PPTS and 2 equiv of (MeO)3CH. Symmetrical and nonsymmetrical bispyrans can also be prepared using the protocol.
