Abstract

Based on the parsley seed main component, apiol, efficient approach to polymethoxyquinone C3- and C4-acids was developed. The key step of this approach is Baeyer–Villiger rearrangement of carbonyl-substituted polyalkoxybenzenes derived from parsley seed extracts. These acids are the MeO-analogues of natural antioxidants – metabolites of ubiquinone and idebenone. Due to antioxidant properties, they are the potential therapeutic candidates for the treatment of mitochondrial dysfunction.
