A new synthetic route to the pterocarpans using a annulation is described. 1,3-Michael-Claisen condensation of α-methylene-γ-butyrolactones with α-sulphur-substituted ketones gives 6-membered rings which have been converted into the pterocarpan framework by aromatization.Sophorapterocarpan A, maackiain, and anhydropisatin have been prepared employing this new aromatic synthesis.
