Synthesis and Reactions of New 4-Oxo-4H-benzopyran-3-carboxaldehydes Containing Hydroxy Groups or 2-Oxopyran Cycles

Abstract

The synthesis of eight hydroxy- and 2-oxopyranochromone-3-carboxaldehydes 3, 5 and their reactions with 2-hydroxyaniline, 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine and 2-benzothiazolylhydrazine were investigated. Products were confirmed by IR, NMR spectral and elemental analysis data. The semi-empirical AM1 quantum-chemical method has been used to study optimal geometries and heats of formation of synthesized 3-formylchromones.
