Synthesis of a New Series of Chromones Based on Formylthiazoles

Abstract

A preparative approach to thiazole-containing chromone derivatives has been developed by modifying the corresponding aldehydes with their further transformation into propenone derivatives, and finally introducing them into the Algar-Flynn-Oyamada reaction. Several methods for obtaining propenones have been analyzed, and the most effective and practically convenient one has been found. The thiazole-containing analogs of chromones obtained have a great potential as probes for a wide range of studies.
