title: Convergent synthesis and preliminary biological evaluations of the stilbenolignan (+/-)-aiphanol and various congeners.
abstract: Treatment of an equimolar mixture of stilbene 7 and cinnamyl alcohol 8 with silver carbonate in acetone-benzene afforded a ca. 2:1:2:1 mixture of the stilbenolignan (+/-)-aiphanol (1) and congeners 2-4 each of which show significant anti-angiogenic and COX-2 inhibitory properties.
