β¦ Synopsis
Synthesis of the soy isoflavone, daidzein, and its derivatives, isoformononetin and dimethyldaidzein, through utilization of a novel synthetic pathway is reported. This synthesis employs an enamine addition and O-methylation of 2,4-dihydroxyacetophenone, a subsequent ring closure and iodination, followed by a Suzuki coupling with PEG 10000. Demethylation of either isoformononetin or dimethyldaidzein afforded daidzein.

New syntheses of haginin E, equol, daidzein and formononetin are described in this Letter. Through a sequence of a Wittig reaction, O-alkylation, and another Wittig reaction, 4-benzyloxysalicylaldehyde, which was prepared from resorcinol in two steps, was converted into the desired diene in one pot.
