Total Synthesis of Luteolin

Luteolin is a naturally-occurring polyphenolic flavonoid compound which has received considerable attention because of its wide range of biological and pharmacological properties. Efficient methods are reported for preparing luteolin, based on the acylation of 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene and condensation with 3,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde or the reaction of 3,4-dimethoxycinnamic acid with 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene. The first of these is the better method.
