This paper describes efficient synthetic approaches for isolating biologically interesting natural pyranochalcones and their unnatural derivatives from Mallotus Philippensis. The key strategies involve ethylenediamine diacetate-catalyzed benzopyran formation reactions and base-catalyzed aldol reactions.

The efficient and concise synthesis of natural and non-natural pyranochalcones was achieved from readily available 2,4,5-trihydroxyacetophenone. The key steps in the synthetic strategy were ethylenediamine diacetate-catalyzed benzopyran formation and aldol reactions.
