Abstract

Abstract An efficient method for the synthesis of flavones and γ-benzopyranones has been developed utilizing a mild Sonogashira coupling and 18-crown-6 ether mediated 6-endo cyclization of o-alkynoylphenyl acetates. By using this strategy, flavones and γ- benzopyranones bearing electron-donating groups, halogens, and simple alkyl substituents were synthesized in satisfactory yields.
