Acacetin is an O-methylated flavone found in various plants. It is reported to demonstrate spasmolytic, antinociceptive, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activity in various research models. The solution of 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone in acetone and K2CO3 was stirred at room temperature for 10 min and then 4-methoxybenzoyl chloride was added. The mixture was stirred under reflux for 24 h and purified to give Acacetin.

Steps:

1.4. Synthesis of 2-p-methoxybenzyl-5,7-dihydroxychromone (2)
To a solution of 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone (1.68 g, 10 mmol) in acetone under argon/open atmosphere, was added K₂CO₃ (13.82 g, 100 mmol, 10 equiv). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 10 min and then 4-methoxybenzoyl chloride (2.56 g, 15 mmol, 1.5 equiv) was added. The mixture was stirred under reflux for 24 h. After cooling to room temperature the undissolved K₂CO₃ was filtered off, washed with acetone and evaporated under reduced pressure to a residue. The crude mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (30 mL × 3), washed with water, brine, dried with anhydrous Na₂SO₄ and concentrated under reduced pressure to a residue. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography using hexane/ethyl acetate (4:1) as eluent. Yield: 2.05 g (72%). R_f 0.17.
