title: An organoiron approach to the benzophenone appendage of the protein kinase C inhibitor balanol.
abstract: [formula: see text] A new synthetic route to the benzophenone appendage of balanol, based on sequential iron-assisted nucleophilic aromatic substitution and ring-opening as well as regioselective oxidative cyanation, is described.
