4-Oxo-4H-1-Benzopyran-2-Carboxylic Acid (Chromone-2-carboxylic acid) is a chromone derivative used as an intermediate in the synthesis of flavonoid-based bioactive compounds, including those with insect growth regulatory and anti-feedant activity. It is used in research programs investigating natural product-inspired insecticides and in the synthesis of chromone-fused heterocyclic compounds with pesticidal activity. This compound also serves as a reference standard in analytical chemistry. AB Enterprises provides this specialty chemical to research institutes and agrochemical discovery organizations. Its chromone scaffold is a privileged structure in the design of crop protection molecules.
