An efficient synthesis of 4H-chromene-4-ones via enamino ketones, with cyclization by using T3P® under microwave heating is described. This is the first report for the synthesis of chromones by using T3P®. Significant features of this method include short reaction times and high-purity products.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
