The chromenone core is a ubiquitous group in biologically-active natural products and has been extensively used in organic synthesis. Fluorine derived compounds, including those with a trifluoromethyl group (-CF<sub>3</sub>), have shown enhanced biological activities in numerous pharmaceuticals compared with their non-fluorinated analogs. We have found that 2-trifluoromethyl chromenones can be readily functionalized in the 8- and 7-positions, providing chromenones cores of high structural comple ...[more]
