In this work, a series of O-alkyl/arenyl/acyl substituted derivatives of 7-hydorxy-4-methyl-1-benzenpyran-2-one (3a-l) was synthesized. The parent compound 7-hydroxy-4-methyl-1-benzenpyran-2-one (1) was geared up by the coupling of resorcinol (a) with ethylacetoacetate (b) in the presence of conc. sulphuric acid. Further, O-substituted derivatives of parent compound were prepared by treating with different electrophiles (2a-l) using sodium hydride as base and DMF as a solvent. The structure of these synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, EI-MS and 1H NMR. These derivatives were also screened against α-chymotrypsin enzyme to check their enzyme inhibition activity. All the compounds displayed a-chymotrypsin activity to varying degree.
