Abstract
A facile ethylenediamine diacetate (EDDA)-catalyzed one-pot reaction of 2-hydroxyacetophenones, aromatic aldehydes, and aniline provides a rapid access to biologically interesting flavanone derivatives via a Mannich-type reaction. To demonstrate this method, several biologically interesting natural products bearing a flavanone moiety were synthesized.
