Abstract

Abstract Tectorigenin, isolated from the rhizomes of Belamcanda chinensis, shows a wide variety of biological activities. The interest in its biological activities has been matched by a corresponding interest in its synthesis. We herein reported a convenient synthesis of tectorigenin in good yield. The starting material, 2, 4, 6??trihydroxyanisole, gave the intermediate 2, 4, 4′, 6??tetrahydroxy??3??methoxydeoxybenzoin by a Hoesch reaction with ...
