A practical synthesis of nobiletin, a polymethoxylated citrus flavone, was accomplished by utilizing our novel flavone synthesis. Synthetic nobiletin was labelled by selective demethylation and rapid incorporation of 11C atom. Positron emission tomography images successfully visualized the brain distribution, which may provide therapeutic benefits in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. The Royal Society of Chemistry.

Microwave, assisted Friedel-Crafts acetylation of polymethoxybenzenes with acetic anhydride in the presence of In(CF3SO3)3 under solvent-free conditions was achieved rapidly to give polymethoxyacetophenones in high yields. Microwave-assisted benzoylation of 2'-hydroxypolymethoxyacetophenones with polymethoxybenzoyl chlorides, followed by the rearrangement of the resulting benzoates and the final formation of natural polymethoxyflavones was achieved rapidly and efficiently. The polymethoxyflavones showed inhibitory effects on melanogenesis in human melanoma cells.

A series of organoselenium compounds was investigated as activators of hydrogen peroxide in the Baeyer-Villiger oxidation.As a result, a convenient and cheap method for transformation of aromatic aldehydes, having polycondensed ring systems or electron-donating substituents, and polymethoxy derivatives of acetophenone, into phenols was elaborated.This method utilizes hydrogen peroxide activated by areneseleninic acids, as oxidizing agent.
