A series of halogenated/nitrated flavone compounds were synthesized. Some of the products were found to be potent central benzodiazepine receptor (BDZ-R) ligands. The structure-activity relationships (SAR) analysis of the new synthetic compounds, together with that of others already described, indicates that substitutions at position 6 or 6 and 3' in the flavone nucleus are the only ones that give rise to high affinity BDZ-R ligands.

The detailed mechanism of the Baker-Venkataraman rearrangement has been studied.The kinetics of the rearrangement of a series of 2-acetylphenyl 3- or 4-substituted benzoates and acetylnaphthyl benzoates catalysed by a basic 'non-nucleophilic' buffer in dimethyl sulphoxide have been measured.Studies of substituent effects, kinetic isotope effects, and acidity function correlations indicate a pathway involving pre-equilibrium formation of the carbanion, followed by rate-determining intramolecular nucleophilic attack.The methanolysis of the 2-acetylphenyl benzoates catalysed by methoxide in methanolic dimethyl sulphoxide has been similary investigated.In this case the pathway appears to involve neighbouring group participation by the ketonic carbonyl group.
