Abstract: | The synthesis of substituted 2-aroyl-3-methylchromen-4-one from isovanillin is described. O-Allylphenol (2) prepared from isovanillin (1) was allowed to react with various α-bromoacetophenone (3) to produce 2-(2-allyl-3,4-dimethoxy)phenoxy-1-aroylethanones (4). The resultant 4 were treated with 2 equiv of potassium tert-butoxide to afford the substituted 2-aroyl-3-methylchromans (5) through an isomerization of an allylic double bond and a carbanion-olefin intramolecular 6-endo-trig cyclization reaction. Subsequently, resultant 5 were oxidized with DDQ to yield the title compound 6, in good over-all yields. |
