Microwave assisted facile synthesis of Elvirol, Curcuphenol and Sesquichamaenol using Montmorillonite K-10 clay in dry media

Abstract

Short, simple and convergent syntheses of the title compounds have been accomplished with good overall yields using a Montmorillonite K-10 clay catalyzed Friedel–Crafts alkylation reaction in ‘dry media’ as the key step.
