An Alternative Synthesis of 3′,4′-Diaminoflavones to Evaluate Their Antioxidant Ability and Cell Apoptosis of Zebrafish Larvae

We described herein a concise synthesis of 3′,4′-diaminoflavone <strong>10</strong>. This new, three-step synthetic approach is more efficient than the conventional seven-step synthetic method. The route is shortened significantly by introducing the amino moieties early a...
