Abstract
The first efficient synthesis of flavanone glucuronides as potential human metabolites is described. The synthetic strategy is based on acetyl protection, followed by a combination of chemical and enzymatic deprotection steps. As an example, the method is applied to a synthesis of 7,4′-di-O- methyleriodictyol 3′-O-β-D-glucuronide. The aglycone is a flavanone naturally present in tarragon spice (Artemisia dracunculus) as well as in various Chinese, Brazilian, and Malaysian medicinal plants.
