Ebenaceae Extractives. Part 10. Macassaric Acid, an o-Methoxycarbonylcinnamic Acid from Macassar Ebony

Macassaric acid is shown to be the cis-cinnamic acid derivative (3).The corresponding methyl ester (4) is synthesised from the o-naphthoquinone (9) via the cyclic unsaturated anhydride (8).Related reactions give the isochromenone (10), the methoxy anhydride (13), and the trans-cinnamic acid (15) and its methyl ester.Macassaric acid appears to be a catabolic product of macassar II (1).
