Abstract

A facile diastereoselective synthesis of panduratin A derivatives using commercially available aluminum(III) bromide is reported. The effect of substituents on the Diels–Alder reaction of various trans-chalcones with (E)-ocimene was investigated. A series of panduratin A derivatives were prepared in moderate to good yields.
