Quercetin and 3-hydroxyflavone are oxidized to the corresponding 2-alkoxyflavan-3,4-diones by CuCl2 catalysis in MeOH or EtOH under oxygen or nitrogen, the mechanism of which is proposed.

Several flavonols have been transformed upon treatment by Trametes versicolor laccase. Most of the major oxidation products have been isolated by HPLC as pure compounds and their structures have been, when possible, investigated through spectral methods (HPLC-MS and NMR). The results are coherent with the predominance of a dismutation process, leading to cation formation, over direct radical-radical coupling.
