Abstract
Irradiation (using pyrex glass filter) of o-hydroxybenzoylacetophenone (1a), o-hydroxybenbzoylacetone (1b), 2-hydroxy-1-naphthoylacetophenon e (5a), 2-hydroxy-1-naphtloylacetone (5b) and 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoylace tone (9) in Br2/CHCl3 and I2/MeOH solutions leads to various chromone derivatives. Parallel reactions of these 1,3-diketones in the dark rec ord no perceptible change in them. Enhanced photoenolisation of the di ketones, in the presence of bromine or iodine, is deemed to be the key step in these transformations.
