Summary
6-Hydroxy-flavones have been synthesised by the Venkataraman oxidation of 2:5-dihydroxy-, 2:5:2′-trihydroxy-, 2:5:4′-trihydroxy chalkones as well as 6:3′-dihydroxy-flavanone by selenium dioxide. Thus the polyhydroxy-chalkones can be oxidised to the corresponding hydroxy-flavones in one step.
