AbstractCondensation of 3‐formyl chromone 1 with hydroxylamine hydrochloride afforded the corresponding oxime 2 that was converted to nitrile 3. Refluxing of oxime 2 and/or nitrile 3 with aceturic or hippuric acid gave 16 and 17. Treatment of 1 with semicarbazide hydrochloride and thiosemicarbazide afforded the corresponding carbazones 5–6 that underwent cyclization with ethyl bromoacetate and/or chloroacetone yielding 7–8. Also 1 reacted with acyclic active methylene reagents, e.g. malononitrile, ethyl cyanoacetate, and ethyl acetoacetate to form compounds 11, 12, and 13. Reaction of 1 with bifunctional reagents, e.g. benzil, o‐phenylenediamine, o‐aminophenol, and o‐aminothiophenol yielding the corresponding imidazolyl bezopyranone and azepine derivatives 14–20. Condensation of 1 with acyclic or heterocyclic compounds containing active methylene group, e.g. hippuric acid forming the condensed products 21–27. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
