SYNTHESIS OF ISOFLAVANES AND INTERMEDIATES THEREOF

, (2016/04/20)
Subject of the invention is a method for enantioselective production of an isoflavane from an isoflavone, comprising the steps: (a) selectively reducing the isoflavone, such that the 4-keto group of the isoflavone is converted to a 4-hydroxy group, and the 2,3-double bond of the isoflavone is converted to a 2,3-single bond, thereby obtaining a 4-hydroxy intermediate, and (b) reacting the 4-hydroxy intermediate with a chiral reagent, such that a chiral group is covalently attached to the C4-position of the 4-hydroxy intermediate, thereby obtaining a chiral intermediate. The invention also relates to intermediates of formulae (IV), (V), (VI) and (VII) obtainable in the inventive process.

Page/Page column 7, (2008/06/13)
Methods for the hydrogenation of isoflavones are described which provide access to workable quantities of isoflavan-4-ols, isoflav-3-enes, and isoflavans. The isoflavone derivatives can be obtained in high purity and in near quantitative yields whilst employing pharmaceutically acceptable reagents and solvents.

Phloroglucinol reacts with arylmalondialdehydes in the presence of hydrochloric acid to form 5,7-dihydroxyisoflavylium salts.Reduction of these salts can be utilized to form isoflav-2-enes, isoflav-3-enes or isoflavans.
