Unconventional application of the Mitsunobu reaction: Selective flavonolignan dehydration yielding hydnocarpins

Various Mitsunobu conditions were investigated for a series of flavonolignans (silybin A, silybin B, isosilybin A, and silychristin A) to achieve either selective esterification in position C-23 or dehydration in a one-pot reaction yielding the biologically important enantiomers of hydnocarpin D, hy...
