Both λ3- and λ5-iodanes have proven to be useful reagents in the oxygenative dearomatization of phenols, and exploitations of their chemistry in the conception of both substrate- and reagent-controlled asymmetric variants of such a transformation of great value for natural product synthesis have shown evident signs of success. Moreover, the use of stabilized IBX (i.e., SIBX) in our methodology for O-demethylation of 2-methoxyphenols, which relies on the same key oxygenating dearomatization event, is reported here to be much more efficacious than that of IBX itself in the chemoselective one-step conversion of homovanillyl alcohol into hydroxytyrosol, and bergenin into norbergenin.

Norbergenin, which is the O-demethyl derivative of bergenin, the main component of Mallotus japonicus, has been found to show moderate antioxidant activity (IC50 13 μM in DPPH radical scavenging; 32 μM in superoxide anion scavenging). Modification of sugar part on norbergenin by coupling with a variety of fatty acids was employed for increasing its antioxidant activity. Selective esterification of hydroxyl groups on the sugar part enhanced greatly antioxidant activity. The most potent one is norbergenin 11-caproate, which not only exhibits stronger antioxidant activity than that of catechin but also prevents neuronal death at 10 μM on the primary culture of rat cortical neurons in DMEM supplemented with N2.
