The reaction of 1,1-bis(morpholino)ethene with precursors of о-quinone methides derived from Mannich bases of phenols and 2-naphthols provided a series of chromeno[2,3-b]chromenes. The cascade process included a hetero-Diels–Alder reaction between о-quinone methide and ketenaminal, elimination of secondary amine, and [4+2] cycloaddition between о-quinone methide and the chromene intermediate.
