    • Abstract

       

      A new synthesis of nobilein has been achieved employing the two stage process of ortho-oxidation. 5∶8-Dihydroxy-7∶3′∶4′-trimethoxy flavone (III) is condensed with hexamine to yield the 6-aldehyde (IV) which undergoes smooth oxidation with hydrogen peroxide to 7∶3′∶4′-trimethyl ether (V) of nornobiletin. Final methylation of (V) produces nobiletin (VI).
