A new synthesis of two naturally occurring dihydrobenzo[b]furan-type neolignans of potential biological activity
A new synthesis of the racemates of two naturally occurring neolignans 1 and 2 was achieved via the 2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]furan derivative 3, starting from the commercially available materials o-vanillin (6) and acetovanillone (9). Benzofurans, Neolignan, Heck Reaction.
