The first synthetic route of naturally occurring (±)-5,7-dihydroxy-8-methyl-3-(2’,4’-dihydroxybenzyl)chroman-4-one  (1)  from Gan Luo Xin pill was successfully accomplished. The synthetic route has been developed retro-synthetically in 9 simple steps with a high yield of ∼80%. The synthetic protocol was developed using readily available starting material phloroglucinol. The key intermediate 2,4,6-trihydroxy-3-methyl acetophenone  (4)  was synthesized via Vilsmeier–Haack reaction, followed by reduction using sodium cyanoborohydride and acylation reaction. LC-MS, IR,  1 H NMR,  13 C NMR of  1  have been analyzed to confirm the structure of (±)-5,7-dihydroxy-8-methyl-3-(2’,4’-dihydroxybenzyl)chroman-4-one ( 1 ) and found in agreement with the natural molecule. The target compound showed 97% and 87% antioxidant activity in DPPH and ABTS assay at 1 mg/ml concentration, respectively. The compound ( 1 ) also showed ferric ion reducing activity with the absorbance of 0.18 at 700 nm. The present study could be useful in developing synthetic routes of other potential naturally occurring homoisoflavonoid.
