A Simple Synthesis of the Natural 2,5-Dialkylresorcinol Free Radical Scavenger Antioxidant: Resorstatin
摘要:
3,5-Dimethoxybenzoic acid 3 has been transformed into olivetol dimethyl ether 6 in three steps in 79% yield. Directed ortho-metallation-alkylation of 6, followed by boron tribromide demethylation resulted in a simple and inexpensive synthesis of resorstatin, in 70% overall yield from 3.
