A method is described for the conversion of 2-methyl-7-tetrahydropyranyloxy-4'-methoxyisoflavone to 2, 4-dialkyl-7-acetoxy-4'-methoxy-A3-isoflavenes. The incorporation of the tetrahydropyranyloxy group, as contrasted with alkyl ether groups, permits a facile cleavage of the protecting group (required for the borohydride reduction step) at a later stage in the synthesis. The synthesis entails the steps: 7-tetrahydropyranyloxyisoflavone—7-tetrahydropyranyloxyisoflavanol-» 7-tetrahydropyranyloxyisoflavanone—4-alkyl-7-tetrahydropyranyloxy-isoflavanol—*· 4-alky l-7-hydroxy-A3-isoflavene— 4-alkyl-7-acetoxy-A3-isoflavene.The present study was commenced for the purpose of demonstrating a method of synthetic utility for obtaining 2, 4-dialkyl-A3-isoflavenes 1 in the form of free phenols or corresponding acetate derivatives. 3 Previous synthetic endeavors along these lines suffered from low yields3 or undesirable reactions at the final state of the synthesis. 4
