Abstract

Abstract The first total synthesis of the linear diarylheptanoid 1-(4 ″-methoxyphenyl)-7-(4′- hydroxyphenyl)-(E)-hept-2-ene, which has a uniquely nonconjugated olefin, was achieved. The synthetic route employed an olefin cross-metathesis as a key step. Beginning with commercially available 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl) propan-1-ol, the final product was made in three steps with a 52% yield.
