Summary

A general method for the preparation of 5-hydroxyflavone and its derivatives from the corresponding 5:7-dihydroxyflavones by the action of Raney nickel on the 7-tosyloxy derivatives is described. Thus chrysin has been converted into 5-hydroxyflavone, and galangin 3-methyl ether to 5-hydroxy-3-methoxyflavone.
