- Total synthesis of [13C]2-, [13C]3-, and [13C]5-isotopomers of xanthohumol, the principal prenylflavonoid from hops
-
Xanthohumol [(E)-6′-methoxy-3′-(3-methylbuten-2-yl)-2′,4′,4″-trihydroxychalcone], he principal prenylated flavonoid from hops, has a complex bioactivity profile, and 13C-labeled isotopomers of this compound are of potential use as molecular probes and as analytical standards to study metabolism and mode of action. 1,3-[13C]2-Xanthohumol was prepared by an adaptation of the total synthesis of Khupse and Erhardt in 7 steps and 5.7% overall yield from phloroglucinol by a route incorporating a cascade Claisen-Cope rearrangement to install the 3′-prenyl moiety from a 5′-prenyl aryl ether and an aldol condensation between 1-[13C]-2′,4′-bis(benzyloxymethyloxy)-6′-methoxy-3′-(3-methylbuten-2-yl)acetophenone and 1′-[13C]-4-(methoxymethyloxy)benzaldehyde. The 13C-atom in the methyl ketone was derived from 1-[13C]-acetyl chloride while that in the aryl aldehyde was derived from [13C]-iodomethane. Tri- and penta-13C-labeled xanthohumols were similarly prepared by applying minor modifications to the route.
