Abstract
Ficucaricone D (1) and its 4'-demethyl congener 2 are isoflavones isolated from fruits of Ficus carica that share a 5,7-dimethoxy-6-prenyl-substituted A-ring. Both natural products were, for the first time, obtained by chemical synthesis in six steps, starting from 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone. Key steps are a microwave-promoted tandem sequence of Claisen- and Cope-rearrangements to install the 6-prenyl substituent and a Suzuki-Miyaura cross coupling for installing the B-ring. By using various boronic acids, non-natural analogues become conveniently available. All compounds were tested for cytotoxicity against drug-sensitive and drug-resistant human leukemia cell lines, but were found to be inactive. The compounds were also tested for antimicrobial activities against a panel of eight Gram-negative and two Gram-positive bacterial strains. Addition of the efflux pump inhibitor phenylalanine-arginine-β-naphthylamide (PAβN) significantly improved the antibiotic activity in most cases, with MIC values as low as 2.5 μM and activity improvement factors as high as 128-fold.

Abstract
Isoflavones were synthesized via Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of 3-iodochromones and para-methoxybenzene- and para-phenolboronic acid. In our hands, conditions commonly used for similar cross couplings turned out to be unsuccessful or difficult to reproduce, for example, due to the unplanned partial cleavage of MOM-protecting groups. Using Pd(dba)2 as a precatalyst and tricyclohexylphosphine as an activating ligand, reliable cross-coupling conditions were identified. In all cases, notably higher yields of isoflavones were obtained with para-phenolboronic acid than with para-methoxybenzene boronic acid. This observation and the commercial availability of para-phenolboronic acid suggest that for the synthesis of the important 3'-prenyl- or 3',5'-diprenylisoflavone substitution pattern a synthetic route that introduces the prenyl substituents after the Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling step, thereby avoiding laborious and protecting-group-intensive multistep syntheses of C-prenylated arene boronic acids, is advantageous.
