Abstract

Abstract : A highly efficient and selective Pd/C-catalyzed carbonylation reaction for the synthesis of flavones has been developed. Various flavone derivatives were isolated in excellent yields with excellent functional group tolerances. The catalyst is reusable, and no phosphine ligand or inert gas protection is needed.
