Secinti, Hatice published the artcileTotal Syntheses of Multicaulins via Oxidative Photocyclization of Stilbenes, Application In Synthesis of 2944-47-0, the publication is Journal of Natural Products (2014), 77(9), 2134-2137, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.
The Wittig reaction of 3-isopropyl-4-methoxybenzaldehyde and 2,3-dimethylbenzylphosphonium bromide afforded the corresponding stilbene mixture I. Oxidative photocyclization of stilbene I with iodine facilitated the first total synthesis of 7-isopropyl-6-methoxy-1,2-dimethylphenanthrene, multicaulin (II). The O-demethylation of II with BBr3 afforded the 7-isopropyl-1,2-dimethylphenanthren-6-ol, O-demethylmulticaulin (III).
Journal of Natural Products published new progress about 2944-47-0. 2944-47-0 belongs to ethers-buliding-blocks, auxiliary class Benzene,Ether, name is 2-Isopropylanisole, and the molecular formula is C16H10O5, Application In Synthesis of 2944-47-0.
