Abstract

A facile approach for the total synthesis of prenylated flavonoids, (?)-abyssinone-VI-4-O-methyl ether (1), (?)-abyssinone-IV-4'-O-methyl ether (2), (?)-abyssinone-V-4'-O-methyl ether (3) and (?)-sigmoidin E (4), has been described. The key intermediate 4-hydroxy-3,5-di-(3-methylbut-2-enyl)benzaldehyde (6) was synthesized that features regioselective prenylation of 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde and crystallizing with petroleum ether from the reaction mixture by freeze-out effect. All structures of new compounds were confirmed by IR, 1H NMR, MS and HRMS techniques.
