摘要
The benzyl-substituted flavone compounds are rare in nature, while some of which have interesting biological activities. The total synthesis of benzyl-substituted flavone derivatives via the acidic rearrangement of benzyl groups in flavone benzyl ethers, and the complicated regioselectivity of the rearrangement were reported. The regioselectivity was proposed to be determined by the steric hindrance as well as the ease of electrophilic substitution reaction for benzyl cations at different positions of corresponding debenzylated fiavone compounds.
