Abstract

Cudraisoflavone J (1), isolated fromCudrania tricuspidata, is a potent neuroprotective compound with a chiral center. Herein, we report the first total synthesis of racemic cudraisoflavone J (1) using a Claisen rearrangement and a Suzuki coupling reaction as the key steps. Racemic secondary alcohol was kinetically resolved to give (+)- and (−)-cudraisoflavone J with up to 97 and 88% enantiomeric excess, respectively. The modified Mosher’s method was used to elucidate the absolute configuration of naturally occurring cudraisoflavone J.
