The novel 1‐(3,4‐dimethoxyphenyl)‐2‐(2,3,4‐trimethoxyphenyl)acrylonitrile was prepared from the condensation of the mixture of 2,3,4‐trimethoxybenzaldehyde and 3,4‐dimethoxyphenylacetonitrile in ethanol at 70°C with 20% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. Cyclization and demethylation of the acrylacetonitrile was performed using pyridine hydrochloride. The obtained 7,8‐dihydroxy‐3‐(3,4‐dihydroxyphenyl)‐2__H__‐chromen‐2‐one was reacted with the poly(ethylene glycol) ditosylates in CH~3~CN/alkali carbonate to afford bis‐[12]crown‐4, ‐[15]crown‐5, and ‐[18]crown‐6 chromenones. The chromatographically purified novel chromenone crown ethers were identified by IR, ^1^H NMR, ^13^C NMR, and MALDI‐TOF mass spectrometry and elemental analysis. J. Heterocyclic Chem., (2009).
