Herein we develop a facile synthetic strategy for the functionalization of well-defined polyether copolymers with control over the number and location of catechol groups. Previously, the functionalization of polyethylene oxide (PEO)-based polymers with catechols has been limited to functionalization of the chain ends only, hampering the synthesis of adhesive and antifouling materials based on this platform. To address this challenge, we describe an efficient and high-yielding route to catechol-functionalized polyethers, which could allow the effects of polymer architecture, molecular weight, and catechol incorporation on the adhesive properties of surface-anchored PEO to be studied.
Biomimetic synthesis of santalin a,b and santarubin a,b, the major colorants of red sandalwood

Better late than never! Almost 200 years after Pelletier's pioneering studies on the chemical constituents of red sandalwood, the major santalins and santarubins have been synthesized. This efficient approach integrates a Knochel isoflavonoid synthesis with Friedel-Crafts allylations or olefin metatheses, and a final biomimetic reaction cascade that furnishes the venerable benzoxanthenone dyes in a single operation (see scheme).
