Abstract: The reaction of 3,5-cyclohexanedione (or 4-hydroxy-6-methyl-pyran-2-one) with aromatic aldehyde and malononitrile gave two kinds of pyran derivatives (1–8) and their structures were characterized via IR, 1H NMR, HRMS, and single crystal X-ray crystallography. The in vitro anticancer activity of the synthesized products was studied and evaluated, in which four human bone cancer cells (MG63, U2OS, 143B and HOS) were used in the screening tests. The results showed that compared with compounds 5–8, compounds 1–4 with ketone ring exerted rather potent activity.
