Microwave-assisted efficient synthesis of alliodorin and (+/-)-curcuhydroquinone

Terpenoids 1 and 2 have been synthesized from readily available starting materials using Li2CuCl4-catalysed coupling of Grignard reagents with alkyl/aryl bromides and microwave-assisted oxidation of allylic methyl groups, using SeO2/(BuOOH)-O-t adsorbed over SiO2 as key steps.
