A one-pot synthesis of aurones from substituted acetophenone and benzaldehyde has been developed on the basis of an improved Algar-Flynn-Oyamada reaction. By using this method, several aurones were prepared in three steps from commercial starting materials. The usefulness of this one-pot strategy was confirmed by a synthesis of aureusidin, an inhibitor of iodothyronine deiodinase, in 41% overall yield. In comparison with a two-step synthesis of this product from the same substrates, the one-pot strategy was more effective, giving a higher yield and requiring fewer and simpler operations.
