The invention provides a synthesis method of
resveratrol, and belongs to the technical field of
natural product synthesis. The synthesis method comprises the following steps: with 3,5-dimethoxy
benzoic acid as a
raw material, generating 3,5-dimethoxy
benzoyl chloride (12) through an acylating chlorination reaction; generating 3,5-dimethoxy
benzamide (13) through an amidation reaction of the (12);generating 3,5-dimethoxyaniline (14) through a Hofmann
degradation reaction of the (13); generating 3,5-dimethoxy
iodobenzene (15) through a
Sandmeyer reaction on the (14); generating 3,5,4'-trimethoxy diphenylethene (31) through a reaction between the (15) and p-methoxystyrene (23), and performing
demethylation of the (31) to finally obtain
resveratrol (1), wherein total yield is 23.3%. Accordingto the method, the adopted
reagent is cheap and easily available, aftertreatment is simple, and two expensive intermediates for
Heck reaction are synthesized by adopting cheap raw materials. A new synthesis method is provided for synthesizing
resveratrol.
