Abstract

A concise synthesis of denbinobin is described via an intramolecular free radical cyclization and Fremy's salt mediated oxidation as a key reactions. A seven-step process starting from commercially available 3,5-dimethoxybenzyl bromide (6) and 2-bromoisovanillin (5) effectively constructs the natural product denbinobin (1).
