Abstract
Substituted γ-pyrones were synthesized by the acylation of phenylacetaldehyde and its enol acetate with acetic and propionic anhydrides in the presence of 70% HClO4. The mechanism of the reaction is examined, and the IR and PMR spectra of the synthesized γ-pyrones are presented. Some of their transformations were studied.
