The first total synthesis of (+/-)-latifolin has been accomplished in six steps and 47.8% overall yield. To understand the relative importance of phenolic OH and benzhydryl CH hydrogen on the antioxidant activity of latifolin, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assay and density functional theory (DFT) studies were carried out. On scavenging DPPH radical in ethanol, the activity of latifolin (1) bearing phenolic hydrogen is remarkably higher than analogue 10 bearing no phenolic hydrogen. Therefore, Phenolic hydrogen is responsible for latifolin's antioxidant activity rather than benzhydryl CH hydrogen. Furthermore, the 5-OH BDE is lower than 2-OH and 7-CH BDEs by a DFT calculation, respectively. Based on theoretical results it is definitely concluded that the phenolic 5-OH plays a major role in the antioxidant activity of latifolin.
