The applicability of 2‐bromo‐4,6‐dimethoxy‐3(2__H__)‐benzofuranone (1) to produce flavonoid‐derived epoxides in the course of the Darzens reaction with aldehydes was investigated. However, instead of the epoxides, flavonols 3 and, in certain cases, benzofuranyl‐substituted flavonols 4 were isolated. The generation of 3 is assumed due to a ring expansion of the initially formed epoxides. These flavonols can react with 1 to produce the unexpected 1:2 adducts 4 as minor products. The structure of the hexamethoxy derivative 4b (R^1^ = H, R^2^ = R^3^ = OMe) was confirmed by X‐ray crystallographic analysis.
