General Description

6-Methylchromone, also known as 6-Methyl-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one, is a chemical compound categorized under the classic family of Chromones. It is known for its heterocyclic kind of features that contain an oxygen atom in its organic ring structure. Its IUPAC name is 6-Methylchromen-4-one. Due to its low melting point and high boiling point, it often appears as a yellow crystalline substance. Because of its antibacterial and antifungal properties, 6-Methylchromone is commonly used in the production of pharmaceutical drugs and research activities.

One-Pot Synthesis of B-Ring Ortho-Hydroxylated Sappanin-Type Homoisoflavonoids

A reliable method for the synthesis of B-ring hydroxylated homoisoflavonoids and 3-hetarylmethyl chromones has been developed. The method involves an initial oxa-Diels-Alder reaction of ortho-quinone methides generated from aryl/hetaryl-substituted ortho-(N,N-dimethylaminomethyl)phenols with (2E)-3-(N,N-dimethylamino)-1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-ones and the subsequent cascade of reactions. This synthetic strategy avoids conventional multistep protocols and does not require the protection of hydroxyl groups, thus allowing the facile synthesis of a library of various aromatic and heterocyclic analogues of naturally occurring homoisoflavonoids.

Benzopyrans : Part 40 - Alumina mediated transformations of 4-oxo-4H-1- benzopyran-3-carbaldehyde, -3-carboxylic acid and their 2-methylhomologues

In contact with alumina, the title aldehyde 1 (R = H, Me, Cl) gives the chromones 5 and 9,12 whereas the acid 2 affords the chromones 7, 10 and acetophenone 23. Alumina converts the aldehyde 3 to the xanthone 14, and the corresponding acid 4 to the chromone 8 and diketone 24.
