Abstract

The Algar–Flynn–Oyamada reaction is the classical method to synthesize 3-hydroxyflavones from chalcones. Despite its relative simplicity, the reaction has several drawbacks including variable and often low product yields. We have found that phase transfer catalysis improves the yields and expands the scope of the Algar–Flynn–Oyamada reaction of a series of 4-benzyloxy-2-hydroxy chalcones.
