Abstract

Chalcones bearing suitably positioned protected 2′-sulfanyl or 6′-hydroxy groups cyclize to form the corresponding thioflavanones and flavanones, respectively. The thioflavanones were prepared by a new method involving deprotection of the sulfanyl group under alkaline conditions. These reactions provide a route to new biologically interesting molecules.

Key words

chalcone cyclization - thioflavanone synthesis - benzoxathiolone ring opening - flavanones
