Flav-2-enes, flavones, and 3-alkyl ethers of flavonols add alcohols and carboxylic acids in the presence of N-bromosuccinimide to give 2-alkoxy- and 2-acyloxy-3-bromoflavans which provide routes to cis-3-bromoflavans by reduction and to 3,4-diols by elimination and reaction with osmium tetraoxide.The 2-acyloxyflavans react with alcohols yielding 2-alkoxyflavans.Flavonols react with N-bromosuccinimide and alcohols to give bromine-free hemiacetals, the known 2,3-dialkoxy-3-hydroxyflavanones.
