Treatment of an aqueous solution of chromone, the detergent sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, silver nitrate and an alkanoic acid, with ammonium peroxydisulfate gives 2‐R‐chromone [R = i ‐C 3 H 7 (47%), R = t ‐C 4 H 9 (65%) and R = 1‐adamantyl (78%)]. In addition 2‐R‐4‐chromanone [R = i ‐C 3 H 7 (40%), R = t ‐C 4 H 9 (5%) and R‐1‐adamantyl (10%)] is formed. It is proposed that the reaction involves as intermediate the relatively stable 2‐R‐4‐chromanon‐3‐yl radical and that the detergent has a micellar catalytic activity on the free radical alkylation process.
