title: Concise synthesis of chafurosides A and B.
abstract: The regioselective synthesis of chafurosides A (1) and B (2) from the same methyl ketone 5 was accomplished using a novel protecting group strategy. Both flavone rings were constructed from beta-diketone intermediate 4, which was readily obtained by condensation of an acyl donor and ketone 5. Construction of the dihydrofuran ring was achieved via an intramolecular Mitsunobu reaction.
