Easy access to both enantiomers of 5-hydroxyequol and 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)chroman-8-ol

5-Hydroxyequol, a biologically active isoflavone metabolite from genistein, has been synthesized enantioselectively from 3-(2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl)propanal by using MacMillans’ asymmetric α -arylation protocol of carbonyl compound. (S)- and (R)-5-Hydroxyequols have been obtained in 90% and 88% ee, r...
