title: A new synthesis of isoaurones: cytotoxic activity of compounds related to the alleged structure of isoaurostatin.
abstract: A new synthesis of isoaurones related to the alleged structure of isoaurostatin, via Heck intramolecular cyclization of cinnamic esters of 2-iodophenols, is reported. The cytotoxic activity of these isoaurones is lower than that of the structurally very similar 4-arylcoumarins.
