E. Maccarone et al., SYNTHESIS, UV-VISIBLE AND H-1-NMR SPECTROSCOPIC CHARACTERISTICS AND HYDRATION OF SOME 3-DEOXYFLAVYLIUM SALTS, Journal of chemical research. Synopses, (12), 1994, pp. 468-469
The synthesis is reported of some 3-deoxyflavylium chlorides by photoc
yclization of 2-hydroxychalcone precursors; the corresponding flavyliu
m-chromenol hydration constants were determined and the pK-structure r
elationships are discussed in terms of the electronic and steric effec
ts of the substituents.
