Abstract
Two variants of synthesis of resveratrol (3,5,4"-trans-trihydroxystilbene) from dimethyl ether and anisaldehyde were performed using the chromium η6-benzenetricarbonyl complex. The Wittig—Horner reactions or aldol condensation in four stages followed by demethylation by EtSLi were applied.
