Abstract

In this paper, a one-pot facile route for the BiCl/RuCl-mediated synthesis of functionalized flavones is described, including: (i) intermolecular -acylation of substituted phenols with cinnamoyl chlorides, and (ii) intramolecular cyclodehydrogenation of the resulting -hydroxychalcones. The reaction conditions are discussed herein.
