Description
Summary:A simple and efficient hydroxide-mediated S<sub>N</sub>Ar rearrangement was reported to synthesize new depside derivatives containing the diaryl ether skeleton from the natural product barbatic acid. The prepared compounds were determined using <sup>1</sup>H NMR, <sup>13</sup>C NMR, HRMS, and X-ray crystallographic analysis and were also screened in vitro for cytotoxicity against three cancer cell lines and one normal cell line. The evaluation results showed that compound <b>3b</b> possessed the best antiproliferative activity against liver cancer HepG2 cell line and low toxicity, which made it worth further study.
