First synthesis and absolute configuration of a β-farnesene-trimethoxystyrene conjugate isolated from Pachypodanthium confine

Abstract ( E )-1-[3′-(4″,8″-Dimethylnona-3″,7″-dienyl)cyclohex-3′-enyl]-2,4,5-trimethoxybenzene ( 1 ), a β-farnesene-trimethoxystyrene conjugate, was isolated from Pachypodanthium confine . Its first synthesis was accomplished, and absolute configuration was determined to be R .
