Synthesis of (± )-2-methyl-6-(3'-hydroxy-4'-methylphenyl)-2-hepten-4-one [turmeronol A]

摘要

The first total synthesis of the racemic title compound is described 3-Hydroxy-4-methyl acetophenone was used as the starting material and transformed into the target molecule in six steps. Synthetic turmeronol A displays spectral properties similar to those reported for the natural compound leading to confirmation of the proposed structure.
