Synthesis and antimicrobial evaluation of some novel sulfur incorporated 7-substituted chromones..

We report herein the design and synthesis of five 2-(phenylthio) methylchromone (4a-d and 5), from 2-bromomethylchromones (3) which were obtained on refluxing 2-methylchromone with N-bromosuccinimide in carbon tetrachloride. The title compounds were characterised by spectral data (IR and NMR). All the compounds have been screened for antimicrobial activity.
