Crossing borders: On‐Water Synthesis of Flavanones

Abstract

AbstractIn this article, a one‐pot methodology for the synthesis of flavanones “on‐water” from simple starting materials is reported. The reaction proceeds in basic media (KOH), at room‐temperature and in distilled water, during a period of 48 h with up to 96 % yields. In addition, most flavanones are obtained pure enough after a simple filtration procedure.
