2-Amino-3-formylchromone (2-Amino-4-oxo-4H-1-benzopyran-3-carboxaldehyde) is a benzopyran derivative. It is a bicyclic heterocyclic molecule made up of a benzene ring fused to a heterocyclic pyran ring. It undergoes condensation with (R)-2-amino-2-phenylethanol to afford Schiff base ligand, which forms complexes with Cu(NO3)2 and Zn(NO3)2.
