Resacetophenone (1) on treatment with diphenylcarbinol in the presence of BF3*Et2O affords a mixture of 3-diphenylmethyl- (3a; 21.4percent), 5-diphenylmethyl- (4a; 39.3percent), and 3,5-bisdiphenylmethyl- (2a; 14.3percent) derivatives which on heating with sodium acetate and acetic anhydride under Perkin's conditions give the corresponding 7-acetoxy-3-acetyl-2-methylchromones (6a, 6c and 6e).Alkaline hydrolysis of 6a-c yields the corresponding 7-hydroxychromone (6b, 6d and 6f).Triarylmethane types of chalkones (5a, 5b and 5c) have been prepared from the corresponding acetophenones (2c, 3c and 4c).All the new compounds have been characterized by their UV, IR and PMR data.
