Baker-venkataraman rearrangement under microwave irradiation: A new strategy for the synthesis of 3-aroyl-5-hydroxyflavones

Microwave irradiation selectively induces the Baker-Venkataraman rearrangement of 2′,6′-diaroyloxyacetophenones to give 3-aroyl-5-hydroxyflavones, in a very short reaction time. Under classical heating conditions these reactions afforded 5-hydroxyflavones

Novel synthesis of 4′,5,7-trihydroxy-3′-methoxyflavanone (homoeriodictyol)

4′,5,7-Trihydroxy-3′-methoxyflavanone (homoeriodictyol) has been isolated from methanol extract of roots of Zanthoxylum budrunga DC. Wall for the first time and same compound has been synthesized by novel route in good yields. The structure has been established on the basis of spectroscopic technique and chemical means. Synthetic compound is found to be exactly identical with the natural sample of homoeriodictyol.
