Abstract
A one-pot Friedel-Crafts acylation of alkynes with suitably substituted benzoyl chlorides provides chromenones and thiochromenones. The ready availability of both starting materials, alkynes and benzoyl chlorides, coupled with the experimental simplicity makes the current synthetic method to (thio)chromenones fast, efficient, and practical.
