Abstract

We have attempted to synthesize polyhydroxy stilbene compounds through the benzyl thioether moiety. During synthesis, we unexpectedly observed that demethylation of the compound under $AlCl_3$ in ethanethiol resulted in a regioselective addition of thiol to the double bond as well as complete demethylation. We report on the regioselective short synthesis for general structure and its structural identification.
