In the demethylation of 6-hydroxy-3, 4', 7-trimethoxy-5-tosyloxyflavone (1) with anhydrous aluminum bromide (AlBr3) or anhydrous aluminum chloride-sodium iodide (AlCl3-NaI) in acetonitrile, the elimination of the 5-tosyloxy group proceeded after demethylation to give 8-bromo-3, 6, 7-trihydroxy-4'-methoxyflavone (6) or 3, 6, 7-trihydroxy-4'-methoxyflavone (5) as a main product. The demethylation of 6-hydroxy-4', 7-dimethoxy-5-tosyloxyflavone (2) with AlCl3-NaI also afforded 6, 7-dihydroxy-4'-methoxyflavone (12), but that with AlBr3 afforded 8-bromo-5, 6, 7-trihydroxy-4'-methoxyflavone (13) as a main product. The demethylation of 1 with anhydrous aluminum chloride (AlCl3) was accompanied by migration of the tosyl group to give a mixture of 3, 6-dihydroxy-7, 4'-dimethoxy-5-tosyloxyflavone (3) and 5-hydroxy-3, 4', 7-trimethoxy-6-tosyloxyflavone (9), but that of 2 proceeded after the cleavage of the 5-tosyloxy group to give a mixture of 5, 6-dihydroxy-7, 4'-dimethoxy- (14) and 5, 6, 7-trihydroxy-4'-methoxyflavones (15) other than the corresponding 6-tosyloxyflavone (16). In the demethylation of the acetates of 1 and 2 with AlCl3, the cleavage of the 5-tosyloxy group proceeded prior to the demethylation to afford the corresponding 5, 6, 7-trihydroxyflavones (8 and 15), although the demethylation of the former acetate was accompanied by formation of 3, 5, 7-trihydroxy-4'-methoxy-6-tosyloxyflavone (10). Mechanisms are proposed for these reactions.
在乙腈中用无水溴化铝(AlBr3)或无水氯化铝-碘化钠(AlCl3-NaI)对 6-羟基-3,4',7-三甲氧基-5-甲氧基黄酮(1)进行脱甲基反应时、脱甲基后,5-tosyloxy 基团被消除,主要产物为 8-溴-3,6,7-三羟基-4'-甲氧基黄酮(6)或 3,6,7-三羟基-4'-甲氧基黄酮(5)。用 AlCl3-NaI 对 6-hydroxy-4', 7-dimethoxy-5-tosyloxyflavone (2) 进行脱甲基反应,也可以得到 6, 7-二羟基-4'-甲氧基黄酮 (12),但用 AlBr3 则可以得到 8-溴-5, 6, 7-三羟基-4'-甲氧基黄酮 (13) 作为主要产物。用无水氯化铝(AlCl3)对 1 进行脱甲基反应时,伴随着甲苯基的迁移,得到 3,6-二羟基-7,4'-二甲氧基-5-甲氧基黄酮(3)和 5-羟基-3,4',7-三甲氧基-6-甲氧基黄酮(9)的混合物、但 2 在 5-甲氧基基团裂解后,生成了 5,6-二羟基-7,4'-二甲氧基黄酮 (14) 和 5,6,7-三羟基-4'-甲氧基黄酮 (15) 的混合物,而不是相应的 6-甲氧基黄酮 (16)。在用 AlCl3 对 1 和 2 的乙酸酯进行脱甲基反应时,5-tosyloxy 基团先于脱甲基反应发生裂解,从而得到相应的 5、6、7-三羟基黄酮(8 和 15),尽管前一种乙酸酯的脱甲基反应伴随着 3、5、7-三羟基-4'-甲氧基-6-tosyloxy 黄酮(10)的形成。提出了这些反应的机理。
