  • Synthesis of resveratrol using Pd-catalyzed bond formation

    American Chemical Society National Meeting

    Resveratrol has received much interest in the popular press recently due to its positive biological activity including its use as an anticancer compound, an anti-obesity compound, antioxidant, and potential preventer of cardiovascular disease. The current synthetic routes utilizing Wittig chemistry or Grignard addition are efficient but are not stereospecific as both the cis and trans isomers are formed.

    Resveratrol has received much interest in the popular press recently due to its positive biological activity including its use as an anticancer compound, an anti-obesity compound, antioxidant, and potential preventer of cardiovascular disease. The current synthetic routes utilizing Wittig chemistry or Grignard addition are efficient but are not stereospecific as both the cis and trans isomers are formed. The preparation of an arylacetylene from the corresponding aldehyde via Corey-Fuchs methodology followed by elimination and Sonogashira coupling of the resulting alkyne to an aryl halide would lead to dehydroresveratrol. Stereoselective reduction (hydrogenation on Lindlar's catalyst or metal-ammonia reduction) would give rise individually to each of the possible stereoisomers.
