Abstract
AbstractA versatile route for the conversion of ferulic acid into biologically relevant molecules is presented. The compatibility of a number of protection and activation strategies with the 1,2‐addition of a variety of O‐, N‐, S‐, and C‐nucleophiles to ferulic acid is evaluated. In particular, this report contains the first systematic study of the addition of (hetero)aryllithium reagents to 3‐phenylpropenoyl Weinreb amides. The relevance of this “bioinspired” method is illustrated by the synthesis of a number of natural products or analogues, such as zingerone, curcuminoids, and (heteroaryl) chalcones.
