Abstract

A six-step general and very efficient synthesis of 4-(arylmethyl)-5,5-dialkyldihydrofuranones starting from corresponding aryl aldehyde has been developed. Solafuranone, a novel furanone isolated from the Chinese folk medicine Solanum indicum, has been accomplished starting from 2,6-dimethylbenzaldehyde in six steps in an overall yield of 70%. Contrary to expectations, solafuranone and its analogue failed to exhibit any significant cytotoxicity against A549 (lung adenocarcinoma) and HL60 (leukemia cells) cell lines.
