Natural Product Chemistry. Part 121. Synthesis of Dicoumarinyl Ethers with the Structures Proposed for Fatagarine and Oreojasmine

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF00808314

Synthesis of the 7,8'-dicoumarinyl ethers: 7-methoxy-7',8-oxydicoumarin and 6,7-dimethoxy-7',8-oxydicoumarin, established that the structures of fatagarine and oreojasmine for which these two structures have been proposed, have to be revised.Synthesis of 7-methoxy-5,7'-oxydicoumarin and 8-methoxy-7,7'-oxydicoumarin exclude the possibility of these dicoumarinyl ether structures for fatagarine. - Keywords: Dicoumarinyl ethers; 6,7-Dimethoxy-7',8-oxydicoumarin; Fatagarine; 7-Methoxy-5,7'-oxydicoumarin; 8-Methoxy-7,7'-oxydicoumarin; 7-Methoxy-7',8-oxydicoumarin; Oreojasmine; Ruta oreojasme
