Abstract

Concise synthesis of anticancer active trans-4-(4-octylphenyl)prolinol has been achieved. Regioselective iodination of aromatic compound and subsequent Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling with trans-1-octen-1-ylboronic acid produced the desired coupling product. Further transformation of this product afforded trans-4-(4-octylphenyl)prolinol. The synthesis of this anticancer compound has been performed with 23% overall yield and six steps, which have been improved in comparison with those (3.5% overall yield and eight steps) previously reported.
