Total synthesis of 3′,3?-binaringenin and related biflavonoids
Sagrera, Gabriel,Seoane, Gustavo
experimental part, p. 2776 - 2786 (2010/10/19)
The synthesis of natural 3++,3?-binaringenin and four related biflavonoids was performed in good overall yield (15-35%) starting from readily available phloroglucinol and 4-hydroxy- or 4-methoxybenzaldehyde. Preliminary results indicate that some of these compounds have an interesting activity against S. aureus. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.
Synthesis of 2'-hydroxychalcone epoxides

Various preparations of some 2'-tetrahydropyran-2-yloxychalcone epoxides and removal of their tetrahydropyranyl (THP) protective groups in slightly aqueous acidic dioxane are described. So synthesised were 2'-hydroxy-6'-isopropoxy- and 2'-hydroxy-6'-methoxychalcone epoxide, as well as the 2-CF3, 4-Cl and 4-NO2 analogues of the latter. 2',4'-dihydroxy-6'-methoxychalcone epoxide was similarly prepared. In some other 6'-methoxy cases protective group removal was accompanied by epoxide solvolysis and the corresponding α,β-dihydroxydihydrochalcone was the only isolable product [2-OMe, 4-OMe, 3,4,5-(OMe)3 cases] or a byproduct [4-Me case]. Similarly prepared by THP removal were 2'-hydroxy-4'-methoxychalcone epoxide and 2',4'-dihydroxychalcone epoxide, whereas an attempt to convert 2',6'-ditetrahydropyranyloxychalcone epoxide into 2',6'-dihydroxychalcone epoxide gave the product of cyclisation of the latter, 3,5-dihydroxyflavanone.
