Abstract

An efficient and facile synthesis of naturally occurring prenylated flavonoids and their analogs have been described. Abyssinone I (9a) was prepared by condensing 2, 2-dimethyl chrom-3-en-6-carboxaldehyde (5a) with protected resacetophenone under phase transfer conditions followed by deprotection and cyclization. The influence of prenyl group on anti- oxidant and cytotoxic activities was studied. The presence of 3′-prenyl group as in 8c ...
