4,4'-Dihydroxy-2-methoxy-5-(α,α-dimethylallyl)chalcone (VII) (licochalcone-A) has been synthesised starting from β-resorcylaldehyde which on partial O-prenylation followed by methylation affords the aldehyde (II).The aldehyde (II) on condensation with p-methoxymethoxyacetophenone (III) under alkaline conditions affords the chalcone (IV), which on Claisen rearrangement yields the chalcone (V).Deacetylation and then demethoxymethylation of V by methanolic HCl affords licochalcone-A (VII), identical with a natural sample.
