Description:
<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Herein, the synthesis of heteromeric tetrahydroxanthone biaryls is described, a widespread core structure of many natural products. The development of both stannylation and Stille coupling procedures of base‐sensitive tetrahydroxanthones enabled their coupling with benzene derivatives as well as with xanthenes. These methods provide access to structures that are analogous to parnafungins as well as to dimeric compounds similar to secalonic acids or phomoxanthones.</jats:p><jats:p><jats:boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor"><jats:graphic xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" mimetype="image/gif" position="anchor" specific-use="enlarged-web-image" xlink:href="graphic/mcontent.gif"><jats:alt-text>magnified image</jats:alt-text></jats:graphic></jats:boxed-text></jats:p>
