Abstract:
Details are given of the preparation of isoflavones derivatised so that they act as haptens in the development of immunoassays for large scale screening for phytoestrogens in biological fluid. A specifically designed new cyclisation reaction allowed the direct conversion of 2-acyloxydeoxybenzoins to the required isoflavones.
