Abstract

Abstract A series of chroman derivatives were synthesized by employing o-methyl phenol as a precursor. These compounds were fully characterized using IR, NMR spectroscopic techniques, and elemental analysis. Mechanisms for the formation of the chroman moiety of these compounds were also proposed. MTT (3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5- diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay was used to estimate their cytotoxicity toward two ...
