Abstract

Background: Viniferifuran is a secondary metabolite belonging to the dimer group of stilben polyphenols, containing benzofuran rings in the structure. This compound was reported to possess high and diverse biological effects such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, protecting cells from radiation damage. Objectives: In this study, we synthesized viniferifuran from monomer resveratrol at laboratory scale. Materials and methods: Viniferifuran was synthesized through four stages: From resveratrol, biomimetic reaction was done with using FeCl3 catalyst to form a mixture; Through purifying by using classical column chromatography, we obtained a viniferin mixture; Next, we acetylated this mixture and continued doing aromatic reaction with 2,3Dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ) to convert dihydrobenzofuran to benzofuran; After that, alkalization of the product would yield pure viniferifuran; The product after synthesis was conducted to identify the structure by modern spectral method NMR. Results: After reaction and refining steps, we were successful to obtain viniferifuran from resveratrol. The study described the implementation process, the conditions of each reaction phase and interpreted the structural spectrum. Conclusion: We built successfully the synthesis process of viniferifuran at laboratory scale, based on specific experimental conditions at Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy laboratory. The research results have the potential to be applied in the synthesis of pharmaceutical chemistry, serving the synthesis of new potential bioactive compounds.
