TY - JOUR A1 - Schmidt, Bernd A1 - Riemer, Martin T1 - Synthesis of Magnaldehydes B and E and Dictyobiphenyl B by Microwave-Promoted Cross-Coupling of Boronophenols JF - European journal of organic chemistry N2 - Magnaldehydes B and E along with their 4'-methylated derivatives are naturally occurring 2,4'-biphenols that have been isolated from the Magnoliaceae. Herein, these natural products have been synthesized from a common intermediate, which was obtained by a microwave-promoted, hetero-geneously catalyzed, and protecting-group-free Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction in an aqueous medium. These reaction conditions were also successfully applied to a one-step synthesis of the slime mold metabolite dictyobiphenyl B.
