Abstract
A general method for the synthesis of isocoumarine derivatives has been developed. Bis(5-R-2-furyl)methylbenzoic acids (R = methyl, ethyl) underwent recyclization and subsequent cyclization into tetracyclic isochromene-1-one derivatives under treatment with hydrogen chloride in methanol. It has been shown that intermediate 4-(5-R-furan-2-yl)-3-(3-oxo-3-R-propyl)-isochromene-1-ones can be obtained selectively by varying a concentration of the hydrogen chloride and reaction times. In the case of R = tert-butyl only corresponding 4-[5-(tert-butyl)-2-furyl]-3-(4,4-dimethyl-3-oxopentyl)-1-isochromenones were isolated regardless of the reaction conditions.
