Abstract
The palladium-catalyzed coupling reaction of 6-iodoisoflavone, prepared from 3'-iodoacetophenone derivative, with 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol gave 6-alkynylisoflavone derivative, which was hydrogenated to give 6-alkylhy-droxyisoflavone (luteone hydrate) (2). Dehydration of 2 gave 2', 4', 5, 7-tetrahydroxy-6-prenylisoflavone (luteone) (1). Wighteone hydrate (3) was also synthesized from 6-iodotris(benzyloxy)isoflavone in a similar manner. 6-Alkyl-4'5, 7-trihydroxy-coumaronochromone (4) was synthesized by oxidative cyclization of 2 with o-chloranil.
