Preparation of Compounds 9a-c.
General Procedure.
A mixture of chalcone derivatives 7a-c (0.001 mol) and
phenylisocyanate (0.0015 mol) in anhydrous benzene (15 mL)
containing a catalytic amount of potassium hydroxide (10 mg) was
refluxed for 30 minutes and the reaction mixture was allowed to
cool. The solid that separated was collected by filtration, washed
with pet ether and crystallized from suitable solvent.

Preparation of Compounds 7a-c.
General Procedure.
6-Chloro-3-phenyl-3,4-dihydro-4-(benzofuran-2-acetyl)-2H-1,3-
benzoxazin-2-one (9b).
A solution of 2-acetylbenzofuran 6 (1.60 g, 0.01 mol) and
salicylaldehyde/5-substituted salicylaldehyde (0.01 mol) in ethanol
(25 mL) at ice cold temperature, was treated with aqueous solution
of sodium hydroxide (70 %, 5 mL) in portions with constant
stirring. The reaction mixture was further stirred for two hours at
the same temperature and left overnight at room temperature. It
was then poured into cold water (100 mL) and carefully acidified to
pH 6.5 with 2 N hydrochloric acid. The separated solid was
collected and crystallized from suitable solvent.
