Abstract

Abstract The first total synthesis of cancer chemopreventive terpenyl hydroxychalcone xanthoangelol J isolated from Angelica keiskei was accomplished with asymmetric epoxidation, aromatic C-alkylation and Claisen–Schmidt condensation via enol mode as key steps. The crucial Claisen–Schmidt condensation has been accomplished by a novel green method using KHSO 4–SiO 2 as a recyclable catalyst under microwave activation. The ...
