2-(\(\alpha\)-Naphthyl)chromanone was synthesised and iodinated and brominated and the structures of the products determined by their hydrolysis to the known iodoacetophenone and bromobenzoic acid derivatives.

7-Hydroxy-4'-Methoxyflavanone has also been brominated and the structures of the bromo derivatives established by converting them to the corresponding flavones or by hydrolysis to known bromosalicylic acid derivatives.
