title: Modular synthesis of polyphenolic benzofurans, and application in the total synthesis of malibatol a and shoreaphenol.
abstract: A modular strategy for the synthesis of hexacyclic dimeric resveratrol polyphenolic benzofurans is reported. The developed synthetic technology was applied to the total synthesis of malibatol A, shoreaphenol, and other biologically relevant poly-phenols.
