Synthesis of spin labelled chromone 4a is described from paramagnetic acid
derivatives la, Ib by the conventional Baker-Venkataraman procedure. Differ
ent hydroxylated paramagnetic chromone derivatives 8, 9, 12a, and 126 could
be obtained by different one-pot reactions and a glycoside of 5-dihyroxy-2
-(1-oxyl-2,5-dihydro-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-1H-pyrrol-3-yl) chromone radical 1
4b was synthesized.
