Seven racemic 5,7-dimethoxyflavanones afforded conglomerate crystals upon recrystallization from a solvent. Three methodologies were investigated to achieve asymmetric transformation based on dynamic crystallization of the chiral conglomerate system. The first was chiral symmetry breaking of racemic flavanones by attrition-enhanced deracemization. Continuous suspension of racemic flavanones in a small amount of propanol in the presence of a base (1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU)) and glass beads promoted chiral symmetry breaking and converted the flavanones to crystals of (+)-or (−)-enantiomers with 78 to 99% ee. The second method involved cyclization of the intermediate aldol product to give optically active flavanone with 90% ee involving a reversible oxa-Michael addition reaction with attrition-enhanced deracemization. The third was a reaction starting from prochiral 2-hydroxy-4,6dimethoxyacetophenone and 2-naphthaldehyde under basic conditions, which gave the corresponding flavanone in 89% ee.F lavanones (I) are among the most prevalent and valuable natural products, and their derivatives are widespread in many plants, fruits, vegetables, and pharmaceutical materials (Figure 1, II−IX). 1−7 Many flavanones with hydroxy or methoxy groups at the 5 and 7 positions show bioactivities, including antibacterial, antimalarial, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, antiarrhythmic, antiasthmatic, antiulcerative, antineoplastic, and HIV-1 IN inhibitory effects. 8−14
