Abstract

The first synthesis pathway to 6,7-dibromoflavone and its transformations to 7-aryl-6-bromo- and 6,7-diarylflavones by Suzuki–Miyaura reactions are presented. Due to the different electronic effects of bromo substituents, the first attack proceeded with good site selectivity at position 7.
