One-pot synthesis of 3-fluoroflavones: Via 1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-3-phenylpropane-1,3-diones and selectfluor at room temperature

Article abstract of DOI:10.1039/c8ob00135a

A concise and efficient one-pot strategy to synthesize 3-fluoroflavones was developed. 1-(2-Hydroxyphenyl)-3-phenylpropane-1,3-diones were fluorinated using selectfluor with a small amount of CH₃CN at room temperature, followed by cyclization a
