Quercetin (Q) methyl ethers were synthesized from CH3I under various conditions. The principal products from the reactions of Q with alkylhalides (CH3I, C4H9Br) in DMF were 3,7,4′-tri-O-alkyl ethers. The structures of the products were confirmed by PMR and 13C NMR spectra. The antioxidant activity of Q tetra- and tri-O-methyl ethers was demonstrated by chemiluminescence in model systems generating active oxygen species and promoting lipid peroxidation.

The regioselective synthesis of several quercetin (3,3',4',5,7-pentahydroxy flavone) tetraesters bearing a single free OH on 5-C was achieved in good yield by proper choice of reaction conditions using common esterification procedures. Tetracetylated quercetin with the free OH on 7-C was selectively obtained instead via imidazole-promoted deacylation of the corresponding pentaester. Unambiguous structural characterization of the two isomeric tetraacetyl quercetin derivatives was obtained by combined HSQC and HMBC 2D-NMR analysis. These molecules can be used as starting materials for the regioselective synthesis of other derivatives. High yield syntheses of the natural polyphenol rhamnetin (7-O-methylquercetin) and of the new mitochondriotropic compound 7-(4-triphenylphosphoniumbutyl) quercetin iodide are reported as examples.
