Natural flavonoids, 4’,5,7-trihydroxyflavanone and 3’,4’,5,7-tetrahydroxyflavanone were synthesised via their respective chalcone. The initial step was to synthesise derivatives of 2-hydroxyacetophenone and benzaldehyde by protecting the phenolic hydroxyl groups. The chalcone was synthesised by Claisen-Schmidt condensation. Acid hydrolysis and subsequent treatment with sodium acetate of 2’-hydroxy-4,4’-6’-tris(methoxymethyloxy)chalcone and 2’-hydroxy-3,4,4’,6’-tetrakis(methoxymethyloxy)chalcone, gave 4’,5,7-trihydroxyflavanone and 3’,4’,5,7-tetrahydroxyflavanone, respectively. 3’,4’,5,7-Tetrahydroxyflavanone was found to be more potent as an antioxidant agent than 4’,5,7-trihydroxyflavanone with 83.11% inhibition and SC50 8.57 μg/mL in the radical scavenging activity by ESR method.
