Facile syntheses of (±)-curcuphenol-(±)-curcudiol-±)- curcuhydroquinone, and (±)-curcuquinone

摘要

The syntheses of (±)-curcuphenol 1, (±)-curcudiol 2, (±)-curcuhydroquinone 3, and (±)-curcuquinone 4 have been achieved. The key steps involved in the syntheses were the Reformatsky reaction and hydrogenation reaction.
