Abstract

An ellagic acid-related natural product, nigricanin (1), was synthesized via the Ullmann coupling reaction of 2-bromo-3,4-dialkoxybenzaldehyde (4) followed by the Cannizzaro reaction for desymmetrization of the symmetric biaryl compound (5). Compared to our previously reported study, the presented synthesis improved the sequence step number.
