Abstract
The total synthesis of norneolignans isolated fromKrameria species, 2-aryl-5-(E)-propenylben-zofurans (5, 11), is described. The key step involves the one-pot reaction fbr 2-arylbenzofurans (2, 7) from 4-hydroxyphenylacetone with 4′-acetoxy-2-chloro-2-(methylthio)acetophenone (1) and 2-chloro-2-methylthio-(2′,4′,6′-trimethoxy)acetophenone (6) under Friedel-Crafts reactionconditions.
