Reaction Steps

10 g of 5,7-diacetoxy-2-methyl-isoflavone of m.p. 177°-178° C. prepared by the method described in Example 5 are boiled for 10 minutes with 50 ml of methanol and with a solution of 5 g of sodium hydroxide in 30 ml of water. On acidifying the solution with a 10% aqueous sulphuric acid, the precipitated product is filtered, affording 6 g of 5,7-dihydroxy-2-methyl-isoflavone, m.p. 228°-229° C.
