Abstract
Ammonium iodide on exposure to air decomposes to ammonia and iodine. The in situ generated iodine was used for the cyclization of 2'-hydro- xychalcones to the corresponding flavones under solvent-free conditions in good to excellent yields. This method could serve as an attractive alternative to the existing methods for synthesis of flavones and the use of toxic molecular iodine is avoided.
