Allan-Robinson reaction
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Allan-Robinson reaction is the chemical reaction of o-hydroxyaryl ketones with aromatic anhydrides to form flavones (or isoflavones).[1][2][3][4]
Note that if aliphatic anhydrides are used, coumarins can also be formed. (See Kostanecki acylation)
