Several [1-(2-hydroxybenzoyl)alkylidene]triphenylphosphoranes have been obtained in good yields through acylation of the corresponding alkylidenetriphenylphosphoranes, prepared in situ, by the easily available methyl 2-hydroxybenzoates. These ylides proved to be good starting materials for the synthesis of the corresponding 2-styrylchromones (2-styryl-4H-1-benzopyran-4-ones).
