Synthesis of 5′-Bromo-2′-Hydroxy-4,4′,6′-TrimetHoxychalcone from Garcinia Nervosa and of its Isomer 3′-Bromo-2′-Hydroxy-4,4′,6′-Trimethoxychalcone

Abstract

The unambiguous syntheses of the naturally occurring 5′-bromo-2′-hydroxy-4,4′,6′-trimethoxychalcone 1, a constituent of Garcinia nervosa, and its positional isomer 3′-bromo-2′-hydroxy-4,4′,6′-trimethoxychalcone 6 are described.
