Series of new benzyl 2H-chromenones 6a-n was synthesized by Pechmann condensation of substituted benzyl resorcinols 2a-c and 3a with various β-ketoesters such as ethyl 3- oxobutanoate, ethyl 3-oxo-3-phenylpropanoate, ethyl 4-chloro-3-oxobutanoate, ethyl 4, 4, 4- trifluoro-3-oxobutanoate and ethyl 2-chloro-3-oxobutanoate 5a-e in very good yields. Synthesized compounds 6a-n were screened for their α-amylase inhibitory, and ABTS.+ ...
