2-Hydroxy-3-allylacetophenones on Claisen condensation with EtOAc/Na gave i
ntermediate diketone, followed by cyclization in AcOH/HCl gave 8-allyl/-1-p
ropenylchromones. which on ozonolysis gave X-acetaldehydes or 8-carboxaldeh
ydes. The above aldehydes on oxidation with KMnO4 furnished corresponding 8
-acetic acids and 8-carboxylic acids.
