“…Chromone derivatives with reactive functional groups such as halogens [1,2], haloalkyl [3][4][5], hydroxyl [6], amino [7,8] and azide [8,9] are important cores and precursors for pharmacologically active compounds (anti-cancer, anti-HIV, antioxidant, anti-tubercular, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antimicrobial, anti-malaria, gastroprotective, antihistamine and antihypertensive) [10][11][12][13][14]. Among them, haloalkyl groups and azides are particularly relevant, both for their accessible synthetic routes and for their wide use as precursors of reactive species [15].…”
