Summary:Platform technology for dienone and phenol-formaldehyde architectures is presented. The objective is to outline a strategy toward the development of an array of potentially useful families of compounds, some of which include phenol-formaldehyde products, and that can be obtained simply, by employing the principles of green chemistry. The platform is based upon the connection of simple building blocks by Claisen-Schmidt condensations to generate dienone architectures. Atom economy is excellent where yields are optimised; the co-product, water, is innocuous and does not hinder purification or recycling of the solvents. This direct approach avoids the use of protection/deprotection or derivatisation for activation strategies and is highly flexible.
