The first example of an unusual addition of chromone‐substituted acrylic acid to enamines is described. The process shows high versatility concerning both enamines and chromones. The reaction is catalyzed by tertiary amines and is highly likely of Morita–Baylis–Hillman‐type. The described compounds show combined moderate inhibitory action on BChE and antagonism towards NMDA receptors which makes them a perspective group for the development of anti‐Alzheimer drugs.

Anhydrous chlorides-CaCl 2 , and KCaCl 3 (chlorocalcite) were identified as mineral inclusions in halite from the Siberian Large Igneous Province at the contact of magmatic intrusions and evaporates. Chlorocalcite was also found as daughter mineral in polyphase hypersaline inclusions. While Raman spectra of KCaCl 3 (chlorocalcite) in natural inclusions are similar to spectra of synthetic analogue, the Raman spectra of natural CaCl 2 do not correspond to the published Raman spectra of synthetic CaCl 2. Simulations of Raman spectra using ab initio density-functional theory (DFT) allowed us to calculate the spectra of individual polymorphs of CaCl 2 and to discriminate anhydrous CaCl 2 phases in natural inclusions and synthetic CaCl 2. In the spectrum of the Pbcn polymorph of CaCl 2 twelve different peaks could be identified at 74,
