2-Aminochromones 1a-c and 8a-c are converted into 4-chlorocoumarins 2a-c and 9a-c. On treatment with ethylenediamine, 2a-c produce 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-7-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)-1,4-diazepin-5-one 3a,b and 4-(2-aminoethyl) aminocoumarin 4b,c in ethanol; while in DMF 9a-c give the bis[4-(2-formamidoethyl)aminocoumarins 10a-c.
