A simple synthesis of 2-hydroxylated (E)-stilbenes was accomplished in good yields via oxidative coupling of 2-hydroxystyrenes and arylboronic acids, with Rh(III)-catalyst and Cu(OAc)2 as oxidant. The antiproliferative evaluation of all the synthesized compounds were assessed on four different human cancer cell lines (Colo-205, MDA-468, HT29, and MGC80-3), and the results showed that several compounds exhibit strong antiproliferative activities (up to IC50=35 nM for MGC80-3).
