Abstract

Oxidation of 2′-hydroxy-3′-nitrochalcones with thallium(III) nitrate gives (Z)-2-phenylmethylene-7-nitrobenzofuran-3(2H)-one derivatives, rather than the more usual 1,2-diaryl-3,3-dimethoxypropan-1-ones or the corresponding isoflavones.

Zusammenfassung

Die Oxidation von 2′-Hydroxy-3′-nitrochalconen mit Thallium(III)nitrat ergab (Z)-2-Phenylmethylen-7-nitro-3(2H)-benzofuranon-Derivate und nicht die üblichen 1,2-Diaryl-3,3-dimethoxypropan-1-one bzw. die entsprechenden Isoflavone.
