	abstract = {<p>The chromanone scaffold is considered as a privileged structure in drug discovery. Herein, we report a highly efficient PhI(OAc)2 mediated regioselective, direct C{\textendash}H hydroxylation of chromanones. This method offers easy access to substituted 6-hydroxy chromanones in moderate to good isolated yields, thus paving the way for their pharmaceutical studies.</p>},

Additionally, the representative naphthalene derivatives have been successfully transformed into the new series of rhodamine dye analogues.</p>
