Abstract

Potential anti-Helicobacter pylori agent dehydrodiconiferyl alcohol was synthesized in 44% overall yield, starting from vanillin which could be commercially available. Carbon extension of vanillin followed by the Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction, a biomolecular radical coupling reaction and DIBAL-H reduction gave dehydrodiconiferyl alcohol.
