We describe the synthesis of novel thiadiazole, selenadiazole, and spirocyclic benzopyrans via the semicarbazides 3 and thiosemicarbazides 3 of 2-ethyl-2-methyl-4H-chromen-4-ones 1 by conventional and nonconventional methods. The microwave and ultrasonic irradiation methods form the respective products in excellent yields in very short reaction time as compared to the conventional method. The synthesized compounds were tested for ...
