Abstract
Concise and efficient total syntheses of diarylpropanes griffithane A, B and F, isolated from Combretum griffithii, have been accomplished from methoxybenzaldehyde. The Claisen-Schmidt condensation between aldehyde and acetophenone was applied to form chalcone as a key step. The structures of chalcones are confirmed by crystal X-ray crystallography.
