Synthesis of a Resveratrol Glycinate Derivative A thesis presented to the faculty of the Department of Chemistry East Tennessee State University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Science in Chemistry by Shelley Marie Van Cleve May 2011 Dr. Yu Lin Jiang, Ph. D Chair Dr. Kady, Ph. D Dr. Vasiliev, Ph. D Keywords: Polyphenols, Stilbenoid, Resveratrol ABSTRACT Synthesis of a Resveratrol Glycinate Derivative by Shelley Marie Van Cleve Recently, the compound resveratrol has had media attention as an anti carcinogen. However, the bioavailability of resveratrol is low in the human system due to its hydrophobic nature. Therefore, it must be administered in high dosages to be effective. A plethora of derivatives have been synthesized that have the potential of resveratrol but sadly share low bioavailability. The first effort of this research was an attempt to produce a more hydrophilic ester of resveratrol. Failing this, the final product was synthesized using a glycine derivative to produce 4-[(1E)-2- (3,5-diacetyloxyphenyl)ethenyl]phenyl N-[(1,1-dimethylethoxy)carbonyl]-glycinate. 2 DEDICATION In loving memory of my grandfather, John Edward “Buck” Van Cleve Jr. 3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I thank Dr. Yu Lin Jiang for allowing me to participate in his research efforts and for his patience throughout this project.

Louis Pasteur (1822-1895) Fast forward 100 years to 1939, resveratrol was first discovered by M. Takaoka in the roots of the white hellebore. Eventually the compound was found in roughly 70 different plant species, paramount among them is the grape [2]. Resveratrol is the compound responsible for the advantageous characteristic of wine [3]. By the 1990s resveratrol had been studied by many research groups for its vast potential in several medicinal treatments and pharmaceutics. Due to its substantive antioxidant characteristic, it has been targeted as the key compound responsible for the French Paradox, the surprisingly epicurean yet non-detrimental lifestyle [4]. The compound has been found in several different plant genres (Table 1). 12 Table 1.
