RESUMO
A new approach for the total synthesis of the active stilbene dimer dehydro-δ-viniferin has been achieved in 9 steps with methyl 4-hydroxybenzoate and 3,5-dihydroxyacetophenone as starting materials. The key feature of the method is the amberlyst 15-mediated cyclodehydration of α-aryloxyketone. [Formula: see text].

Biotransformation of trans-resveratrol and synthetic (±)-ε-viniferin in aqueous acetone using horseradish peroxidase and hydrogen peroxide as oxidants resulted in the isolation of two new resveratrol trimers (3 and 4), one new resveratrol derivative (5) with a dihydrobenzofuran skeleton, together with two known stilbene trimers (6 and 7), and six known stilbene dimers (8-13). Their structures and relative configurations were identified through spectral analysis and possible formation mechanisms were also discussed. Among these oligomers, trimers 6 and 7 were obtained for the first time through direct transformation from resveratrol. Results indicated that this reaction is suitable for the preparation of resveratrol oligomers with a complex structure.
