OXYGENATION OF 4-HYDROXYCHALCONES CATALYSED BY PEROXIDASE AND BY LIGHT
Wong, Edmon
, p. 235 - 238 (1989)
Peroxidase or light catalysed oxygenation of 2',4-dihydroxy-4'-methoxychalcone produced two labile initial products characterized as stereoisomers of 4'-hydroxy-6-methoxy-2-(α-hydroperoxybenzyl)coumaranone.By analogy, the products from similar oxygenation reactions of 2',4,4'-trihydroxychalcone previously studied are now considered to be hydroperoxy-benzylcoumaranones rather than dioxetanes. - Keywords: Oxygenation; photooxygenation; peroxidase; 4-hydroxychalcones; 2',4-dihydroxy-4'-methoxychalcone.
