First Total Synthesis of Prorepensin with a Bis-Geranylated Chalcone

摘要

The first total synthesis of naturally occurring prorepensin with a bis-geranylated chalcone has been achieved by a convergent sequence. The key strategy involved in the synthesis of prorepensin was chalcone formation by aldol condensation of the corresponding geranylated acetophenone with geranylated benzaldehyde.
