Selective esterification of the polyphenol resveratrol was performed under thermodynamic conditions using NaH and acid anhydrides to directly access 4 '-esters. Standard conditions with acetyl chloride and pyridine showed poor selectivity, favoring esterification at the 3-position. The extended 4 '-phenolate anion is generated in preference to the 3-phenolate under the new anhydride-sodium hydride-DMSO conditions. Acylation occurs to access the 4 '-ester products with modest selectivity and yield with minimal formation of the 3-monoester, 3,5-diester, and triester products. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
