Chalcone and chromene motifs are synthetic or naturally occurring scaffolds with significant cytotoxic profile. Two types of novel regioisomeric chromene-chalcone hybrids, namely 1-(6-chloro or 6-methoxy-2H-chromen-3-yl)-3-phenylprop-2-en-1-one (Type A) and 3-(6-chloro or 6-methoxy-2H-chromen-3-yl)-1-phenylprop-2-en-1-one (Type B), both with different substituents on the phenyl ring attached to...

A series of coumarin Schiff bases (7-(arylidenehydrazinocarbonylmethoxy)-2-oxo-2H-chromen-4-yl]acetic acid arylidenehydrazide) (4a-k) and N-(2-aryl-4-oxothiazolidin-3-yl)-2-{[4-(2-aryl-4-oxothiazolidin-3-yl)carbamoylmethyl]-2-oxo2H-chromen-7-yloxy}-acetamides (5a-k) were synthesized and evaluated for their antioxidant activity (scavenging of 1,1diphenyl-2-picryhydrazyl radical and phosphomolybd...

Coordination compounds of 4-hydroxy-3-nitro-2H-chromen-2-one and their mixed ligand complexes with aminoethanoic acid and pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid were synthesized by the reaction of Cu(II) and Zn(II) salts in molar ratio 1 : 2 for the coumarin complexes and 1 : 1 : 1 for the mixed ligand complexes, in basic media. The compounds formed were characterized using infrared, Uv-vis spectrophoto...

In the title compound, C(29)H(21)O(3)P, a coumarin-substitued ylid, the P atom is linked to three benzene rings and a planar coumarin moiety via a methyl-enecarbonyl group. The bond lengths in the P=C-C=O fragment clearly indicate a delocalized system involving the olefinic and carbonyl bonds. The mol-ecular structure is stabilized by an intra-molecular C-H⋯O inter-action that results in an S7 ...

A series of new 7-[2-(3-alkyl/aryl-4-arylthiazol-2(3H)-ylidene)hydrazono)propoxy]-4methyl-2H-chromen-2-ones, (6-9a-e), was prepared by the reaction of appropriate N-alkyl/aryl2-[1-(4-methyl-2-oxo-2H-chromen-7yloxy)propan-2-ylidene]hydrazine carbothioamides (4a-d) and phenacyl bromides (5a-e). The purity of all new compounds was checked by TLC and elucidation of their structures was confirmed by...

Two new benzyl derivatives were isolated from ethyl acetate fraction of wild strawberry, Fragaria vesca var. nubicola Lindl. ex Hook.f. The structures of these compounds were elucidated to be 5-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenethyl)-7-methoxy-2H-chromen-3-ol (1) and 5-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenethyl)-4,7-dimethoxy-2H-chromen-3-ol (2) based on spectroscopic data through IR, UV, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR along with ...

The Csp(3) atom of the chromenyl fused-ring system in the title compound, C(14)H(16)O(3), deviates by 0.407 (2) Å from the plane of the other atoms (r.m.s. deviation = 0.041 Å). The eth-oxy substituent occupies a pseudo-axial position.

We have reported a microwave assisted base directed regioselective synthesis of partially reduced chromenes, isochromenes and phenanthrenes. Functionalized 4-(piperidin-1-yl)-5,6-dihydro-2H-benzo[h]-chromen-2-one-3-carbonitriles have been used as precursors, which on reaction with functionalized acetophenones in the presence of KOH in DMF under microwave irradiation yield (Z)-2-(2-aryl-5,6-dihy...

In the title compound, C(32)H(24)O(8), the mol-ecular structure is disordered over two positions with refined site occupancies of 0.8746 (10) and 0.1254 (10). The mean plane of the three chromeno rings make dihedral angles with each other of 65.12 (4), 62.91 (4) and 59.70 (4)° in the major occupancy component and 59.1 (3), 66.1 (3) and 58.8 (3)° in the minor component. Intra-molecular O-H⋯O hyd...
