Base catalysed condensation of a substituted 2-hydroxyacetophenone with acetic anhydride and sodium acetate followed by cyclization of the intermediate with acid gave substituted 3-acetyl-2-methyl-4H-1-benzopyran-4-ones. These were then brominated with phenyltrimethylammonium tribromide (PTT) to yield the desired 3-(2-bromoacetyl)benzopyran-4-ones. The latter compound on treatment with primary and secondary aryl or alkyl amines, gave the corresponding benzopyran-4-one derivatives.
