title: A short synthetic route to biologically active (+/-)-daurichromenic acid as highly potent anti-HIV agent.
abstract: The efficient total synthesis of biologically interesting (+/-)-daurichromenic acid is accomplished starting from 2,4-dihydroxy-6-methylbenzoic acid or 2,4-dihydroxy-6-methylbenzaldehyde in one or two steps.
