Total synthesis of isoflavonoids

Abstract

Covering: 2012 to 2024Isoflavonoids are phenolic compounds with wide structural diversity and a plethora of biological activities. Owing to their structural variation and potential health-promoting and other benefits, they have been targeted for synthesis. Herein, we review the synthesis of natural isoflavonoids belonging to different classes that include isoflavones, isoflavanones, isoflavans, isoflavenes, pterocarpans, rotenoids, coumaronochromones, and coumestans. The synthetic methodologies employed and advancements in synthetic strategies are highlighted.
