Abstract

Flavone of the month: a general and efficient method for the palladium-catalyzed carbonylative synthesis of flavones has been developed. Starting from aryl bromides and 2-hydroxyacetophenones, the corresponding flavones have been isolated in good yields.Copyright © 2012 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
