Abstract
A convenient and simple two-step method for the synthesis of coumestrol has been established, which involves a base catalysed condensation of phenyl acetate with benzoyl chloride, followed by demethylation and subsequent tandem intramolecular cyclisation. This method was then employed for the efficient synthesis of multiply C-13-labelled coumestrol. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
