Furo[2, 3‐ b ]chromone ( 1a ) was conveniently prepared by the PPE‐promoted cyclization of 5‐(2′‐carboxy‐phenoxy)furan‐2‐carboxylic acid ( 8 ) which was made from methyl salicylate and ethyl 5‐nitrofuran‐2‐carboxyl‐ate. Furo[2, 3‐ b ]chromon‐2‐acrylic acid ( 13 ) was obtained by a similar cyclization. Direct acylation of 1a afforded 2‐acetylfuro[2, 3‐ b ]chromone ( 10 ). Several derivatives of furo[2, 3‐ b ]chromone were found to display activity in the rat passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PGA) test for antiallergic activity.
