Microwave-assisted regioselective synthesis of natural 6-prenylpolyhydroxyisoflavones and their hydrates with hypervalent iodine reagents
2006
Abstract Microwave-assisted oxidative rearrangement of 3′-iodotetraalkoxychalcones with hypervalent iodine such as [hydroxy(tosyloxy)iodo]benzene or [bis(trifluoroacetoxy)iodo]benzene, followed by microwave-mediated hydrolysis and in situ cyclization of the resultant acetals gave 6-iodotrialkoxyisoflavones. Pd(0)-catalyzed coupling reaction of the 6-iodoisoflavones with 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol under microwave irradiation gave 6-alkynylisoflavones, whose hydrogenation gave the respective hydrates of wighteone, lupisoflavone and derrubone. Wighteone ( 1a ), lupisoflavone ( 1b ) and derrubone ( 1c ) were obtained by dehydration of their respective hydrates under microwave irradiation.
