A six-step synthesis of xanthohumol (1a) and its d3-derivative (1b) from easily accessible naringenin is reported. The prenyl side chain was introduced by Mitsunobu reaction followed by the europium-catalyzed Claisen rearrangement and base-mediated opening of chromanone gave access to an α,β-conjugated ketone system. Compound1bwas used as an internal standard in stable isotope dilution assays of1ain two Polish beers.

The identification of effective cancer preventive compounds from hops has become an important issue in public health-related research. We compared the antiproliferative and apoptosis-inducing effects of side chain variants of prenylflavanones, e.g., 8-prenylnaringenin (7) and 8-geranylnaringenin (10), which have been identified in hops (Humulus lupulus), and their synthetic variations 8-furanmethylnaringenin (8) and 8-cinnamylnaringenin (9). These were accessible by a Mitsunobu reaction and Claisen rearrangement. Flavanones 9 and 10 showed cytotoxic and apoptotic activities. Apoptosis was induced in a mitochondrial dependent manner. 8-Cinnamylnaringenin (9) displayed noticeably improved apoptotic effects when compared to 8-prenylnaringenin. The potential of 8-prenylnaringenin (7) is shown in an ex vivo experiment on a multi-drug resistant leukaemia blast. Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart.
An efficient synthesis of the potent phytoestrogens 8-prenylnaringenin and 6-(1,1-dimethylallyl)naringenin by europium(III)-catalyzed Claisen rearrangement

Starting from commercially available naringenin (3), the flavanoids 8-prenylnaringenin (1) and 6-(1,1-dimethylallyl)naringenin (2) have been prepared in racemic form using prenyl ether 5 as a general intermediate. While a domino Claisen-Cope rearrangement of 5 was the key step in the synthesis of 1, the cytotoxic compound 2 was additionally secured via a europium(III)-catalyzed Claisen rearrangement of 5 at low temperature. Both 1 and 2 display strong estrogenic activities.
