Abstract

A highly efficient and green synthesis of (±)-methysticin was developed from inexpensive piperonal, requiring two extraction procedures and one chromatographic purification in the final step with 51% overall yield. This new method is superior compared to known literature procedures and is highly reproducible and scalable up to gram scale.
