M. Nogradi et A. Szollosy, SYNTHESIS OF 4',7-DIHYDROXY-6-METHOXYISOFLAVONE 7-O-BETA-D-GLUCOPYRANOSIDE (GLYCITIN), Liebigs Annalen, (10), 1996, pp. 1651-1652
The aglycone glycitein (1) of the title glucoside glycitin (2) was pre
pared by oxidative rearrangement of the fully protected chalcone 4 by
Tl(NO3)(3) in MeOH into 5 followed by deprotection and ring closure. I
ts glucosylation with alpha-acetobromoglucose and subsequent saponific
ation gave 2 as the main product.
