Oxidation of 3,3′,4′,7‐tetra‐ O ‐methylquercelin by alkaline peroxydisulfate gave, in addition to the known 5,8‐dihydroxy derivative, a comparable yield of the 5,6,8‐trihydroxy compound. It was characterized by complete methylation and by conversion to the corresponding hydroxy and methoxy flavoquinones. Simultaneous introduction of two hydroxyls o ‐ and p ‐ to an existing hydroxyl function can be a potential step‐saver in the synthesis of polyphenolic substances.
