Di-O-sulfates of six phytoestrogenic isoflavonoids, daidzein (1), genistein (2), glycitein (3), and the reduced metabolites dihydrodaidzein (4), dihydrogenistein (5) and equol (6) were synthesized. These compounds are known or potential inhibitors of steroid sulfatase enzymes. The new compounds were characterized by NMR and mass spectrometry.
