Abstract:

The total synthesis of the title compound 10 was accomplished starting from 3, 5-dimethoxybenzoic acid (1) and p-hydroxybenzaldehyde (6) in eight steps via a strategy of biomimetic oxidative coupling. The structure of 10 which was confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR, HRMS analysis was 7, 8 - trans-7', 8'-trans-dimericstilbenoids (resveratrol (E)-dehydrodimer tetramethyl ether). In conclusion, the target compounds were successfully synthesized through the method in this paper.

Key words: Oxidative coupling; Resveratrol; Dimeric stilbenoids
