Abstract
(±)-Hongoquercin A (1), the racemate of an antibacterial fungal metabolite, has been synthesized starting from geranylacetone (2) and ethyl orsellinate (ethyl 2,4-dihydroxy-6-methylbenzoate, 5). The structure (±)-1 has been confirmed by X-ray analysis of its ethyl ester (±)-10. Synthesis of the naturally occurring (+)-hongoquercin A from (−)-sclareol (11) established its configuration as depicted in 1.
