Procedure
More specifically, the gossypol acetic acid 1 (5 g, 8.65 mmol) in 50 ml of 40% NaOH was heated under nitrogen at 90° C. for 3.5 hours in the dark. The reaction mixture was cooled and poured slowly onto ice (300 ml) and concentrated H2SO4 (35 ml) mixture to form white precipitation. The precipitation was filtered, washed with water and dried to afford apogossypol (3.8 g, 95%) as a white solid. 1H NMR (CDCl3 δ 7.61 (s, 2H), 7.50 (s, 2H), 5.93 (s, 2H), 5.27 (s, 2H), 5.13 (s, 2H), 3.88 (m, 2H), 2.12 (s, 6H), 1.55 (d, J=5.5 Hz, 12H).
