Microwave Activation: Highly Efficient Hydrolysis of Hesperidin and Naringin and Synthesis of Their Aglycone Acetates Under Microwave Irradiation

Acidic hydrolysis of Hesperidin and Naringin, furnishing their aglycone moieties Hesperetin and Naringenin, respectively, is reported using sulfuric acid and water as a solvent, under microwave irradiation. This new economical procedure provides flavanones in very good yields, ~90% better than that...

description Acidic hydrolysis of Hesperidin and Naringin, furnishing their aglycone moieties Hesperetin and Naringenin, respectively, is reported using sulfuric acid and water as a solvent, under microwave irradiation. This new economical procedure provides flavanones in very good yields, ~90% better than that of acid hydrolysis in reflux. Furthermore, we describe for the first time an efficient synthesis of Hesperetin-triacetate and Naringenin-triacetate from the corresponding flavanones, in the presence of 4-(<i>N</i>,<i>N</i>-dimethylamino)-pyridine DMAP as a catalyst, under microwave irradiation.
