Abstract The condensation of 4-phenyl-1, 2, 4-triazol-3-ylacetonitrile with 2-methyl-, 4- ethylresorcinol, and with pyrogallol gave α-(4-phenyl-1, 2, 4-triazol-3-yl)-2, 4- dihydroxyacetophenones. Upon treatment with acid anhydrides and chlorides and subsequent hydrolysis these form 7-hydroxy-3-(4-phenyl)-1, 2, 4-triazol-3-yl) chromones with different substituents in both the benzene and the pyrone rings.
