This paper has focused on developing a novel methodology for the total synthesis of quadrangularin A (3) and pallidol (4). These two resveratrol dimers have been obtained from the inexpensive materials of 3,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde (5) and 3,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde (6) within 9 steps and 11 steps with total yields of 2.6% and 1.3%, respectively. The stilbene skeleton constructed by two symmetric or asymmetric aromatic rings (A and B) has been synthesized simply through Knoevenagel reaction under mild conditions with yield of more than 98%, which expanded the diversity of stilbene skeleton (7), and addressed the problems of limited expansion of asymmetric structure, low yield and complex operation. In addition, the key intermediate of 4-enaldehyde skeleton structure (9) could be used to construct aromatic rings of C and D efficiently, which has thrown light on the expansion of resveratrol dimers with aromatic ring A, B, C and D in diversity structure. All the intermediates and natural products have been characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and HRMS.
