Vy. Sosnovskikh et Bi. Usachev, 2-polyfluoroalkylchromones 5. Nitration and chlorination of 2-trifluoromethylchromones, RUSS CHEM B, 49(12), 2000, pp. 2074-2076
Electrophilic nitration of 2-trifluoromethylchromone and its 6- and 7-metho
xy derivatives affords 6-, 5-, and 8-nitro derivatives, respectively, while
5,7-dimethyl-2-trifluoromethylchromone yields a 6,8-dinitro derivative. Ra
dical chlorination results in 3-chloro derivatives.
