An efficient procedure for the preparation of natural products bearing the 2-(2-phenylethyl)chromone skeleton
摘要:
Several 2-(2-phenylethyl)chromones have been shown to possess neuroprotective activity. However, limited synthetic methods have been disclosed to construct the 2-(2-phenylethyl)chromone skeleton. Herein, we report a straightforward 3-step preparation of five naturally occurring 2-(2-phenylethyl)chromones utilizing the Claisen condensation as the key step. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
