Abstract: | 5-Methoxy-3H-naphtho2,1,8-mna]xanthen-3-one (musafluorone, 1), the only naphthoxanthenone reported so far from Musaceae, was synthesized starting from 2-naphthol in nine steps and resulted in an overall yield of 3%. Grignard addition of phenylmagnesium bromide to 4-methoxyperinaphthenone afforded the corresponding 4-methoxy-9-phenylphenalenone which, after epoxidation and methyl transposition, was subjected to a photochemical cyclization procedure to furnish 1. |
