Abstract
5'-Methoxycurcumin (6) an unsymmetrically substituted curcuminoid from C. xanthorrhiza, was synthesized starting from syringaldehyde (4) and vanillin (5), in a single step. The spectral data of synthetic 6 are in good agreement with those of natural 6 and it showed potent antioxidant activity.
