A facile and straightforward synthesis of cytogenin 1 (8-hydroxy-3- hydroxymethyl-6-methoxyisocoumarin) metabolite of Streptoverticillium eurocidicum and Certocystis fimbriata has been achieved. Condensation of chloroacetyl chloride with 3,5-dimethoxyhomophthalic acid 2 directly furnished 3-chloromethyl-6,8-dimethoxyisocoumarin 3 which was hydrolyzed to 6,8-dimethoxy-3-hydroxymethylisocoumarin 4 using 0.05% aqueous sodium hydroxide in THE Regioselective demethylation of 4 yielded cytogenin 1. In model experiments, 3-chloromethylisocoumarin was prepared and converted into 3-hydroxymethyl isocoumarin.

A highly regioselective gold(I)-catalyzed 6-endo-dig cyclization of 2,2-dimethyl-5-(alkynyl)-4H-benzo[d][1,3]dioxin-4-ones for the synthesis of 8-hydroxy-3-substituted isocoumarins is described. Key features of the reaction include the broad substrate scope, scalability, and tolerance for protecting groups. The synthetic utility of this novel method is demonstrated by the first total synthesis of exserolide F, an isocoumarin-containing polyol natural product.
