An efficient method for C8-prenylation of flavonols and flavanones
Synthesis of C8-prenylated flavonols and flavanones via the palladium-catalyzed 7-O-1,1-dimethylprop-2-enylation, followed by Claisen rearrangement is described. Two regioselectivities (carbon-carbon bond formation at either the tail or head of the prenyl
