Chromones as a privileged scaffold in drug discovery: a review.

Xanthones from guttiferae

In vivo antitumor, in vitro antibacterial activity and alkylating properties of phosphorohydrazine derivatives of coumarin and chromone.

Ag/Brønsted Acid Co-Catalyzed Spiroketalization of β-Alkynyl Ketones toward Spiro[chromane-2,1′-isochromene] Derivatives

A versatile route to 2-alkyl-/aryl-amino-3-formyl- and hetero-annelated-chromones, through a facile nucleophilic substitution at C2 in 2-(N-methylanilino)-3-formylchromones

Cycloadditions of substituted benzopyran-4-ones to electron-rich dienes: a new route to xanthone derivatives

Heteroannulation of 4-oxo-4H-1-benzopyrans (chromones) via the conjugate addition of haloalkanols in the presence of base

Methyl 2-(4′-hydroxybutyl)chromone-3-carboxylate (7) and the derived epoxide (13) undergo spirocyclisation on treatment with iodomethane–potassium carbonate and Lewis acid respectively.

Routes of spiroacetals derived from chroman-4-one

Preparative routes to spiroacetals derived from chroman-4-one (2,3-dihydro-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one)

Butenoates substituted at the γ-position with an acidifying group, e.g., COR, CO2R, SO2R, and PO(OR)2, undergo a regioselective oxidation (in which a methine group is converted into a carbinol function and a methylene group into a keto moiety) in the presence of activated carbon.
