Abstract

Abstract Wittig, aldol and Wittig-Horner reactions have been used to synthesize new diarylheptanoids, which are putative intermediates in phenylphenalenone biosynthesis in plants. The Wittig-Horner approach was most suitable and gave significantly higher yields in comparison with other methods.
