“…Typically, chromones can be prepared by the classical synthetic routes, including Claisen condensation [ 13 , 14 ], Baker–Venkataraman [ 15 ], Kostanecki–Robinson reaction [ 16 , 17 ], benzopyrylium salts [ 18 , 19 , 20 ], and Vilsmeier–Haack reaction [ 21 , 22 ], utilizing ortho -hydroxyarylalkylketones as starting materials. In addition, phenols, salicylic acid, and derivatives have also been used to synthesize chromones via the Simonis [ 23 , 24 ] and Ruhemann [ 25 ] reactions and others [ 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 ].…”
