Abstract: For the purpose of the development of immunoassays for wide-scale screening, isoflavones suitable for attachment to a hapten were prepared. A new cyclisation reaction allowed the direct conversion of 2-(acyloxy) deoxybenzoins to 2-alkylisoflavones by treatment with chlorotrimethylsilane and triethylamine in dimethylformamide. Key words: immunoassay, genistein, cyclisation, 2-(acyloxy) deoxybenzoins, 2-alkylisoflavones
