A simple and efficient method has been developed for the facile oxidation of chromenes to the corresponding flavones by tert-butylhydroperoxide (TBHP) in the presence of copper(II) bromide catalyst in toluene at 80 °C in a very short time. The reaction demonstrates excellent reactivity, functional group tolerance, and good to excellent yields without using conventional strong oxidizing agents.

2-Aryl-2H-chromenes in aqueous DCM medium under catalysis of HAuCl 4 are converted into 3-(2-hydroxyaryl)-1-arylpropan-1-ones through hydration-rearrangement reaction sequence in very good yield. The key step probably involves the [1,5] hydride shift followed by the hydrolysis under the reaction condition. The notable advantages of this method are operational simplicity and ease of isolation of products and also provide a pathway to convert the chalcone into DHCs with the transposition of carbonyl group. 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
