Abstract

of an OH group at the C-5 position and in the type of side chain attached at the C-6 ring position, and these factors apparently detennine their structureactivity relationships. The synthetic challenge of these molecules lies in the side chain attachment. This has been achieved in the past by circuitous routes, for instance, by the reaction of metallated aromatic rings with aldehydes followed by the deoxygenation of the resultant hydroxy group? and ...
