Ochnaflavone, a naturally occurring biflavonoid composed of two units of apigenin (5,7,4′-trihydroxyflavone) joined via a C-O-C linkage, was first synthesized and evaluated its inhibitory activity on PGE2 production. Total synthesis was accompl

The first total syntheses of ochnaflavone, an asymmetric biflavone consisting of apigenin and luteolin moieties, and the permethyl ether of 2,3,2'',3''-tetrahydroochnaflavone have been achieved. The key steps in the synthesis of ochnaflavone were the formation of a diaryl ether and ring cyclization of an ether-linked dimeric chalcone to assemble the two flavone nuclei. Optimal experimental conditions for the oxidative cyclization to form ochnaflavone were established.
