Radical-scavenging polyphenols: New strategies for their synthesis
Bovicelli, Paolo
, p. 1703 - 1710 (2008/03/11)
New strategies for the synthesis of polyphenols, compounds with antioxidant properties contained in every kind of plants, are discussed. Syntheses of different classes of polyphenols, namely ubiquinones, present in many natural systems in which electron-transfer mechanisms are involved, hydroxytyrosol, one of the main components of the phenol fraction in olives, and flavonoids, widespread in the plant kingdom, were approached by simple and environmentally sustainable methods.
PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF UBIHYDROQUINONES AND UBIQUINONES

Page/Page column 10-11, (2008/06/13)
A process for the preparation of ubihydroquinones and ubiquinones by condensation of a prenol or isoprenol with a hydroquinone or derivative thereof in the presence of 0.005 - 1.0 mol% of a catalyst which is a Broensted-acid, a Lewis-acid from the group consisting of a derivative of Bi or In or an element of group 3 of the periodic table of the elements, a heteropolyacid, an NH- or a CH-acidic compound, and optionally oxidizing the ubihydroquinone obtained.
