The present invention provides novel compositions of matter and processes for their preparation. More particularly, the present invention consists of novel chemical intermediates and associated processes for the preparation of khellin and other furochromone analogues, which have demonstrated antiatherosclerotic activity. These novel intermediates and processes can also be used for the preparation of benzofurans and benzothiophenes which inhibit the synthesis of leukotriene and/or lipoxygenase.
