The naturally-occuring Mammea coumarins of the 4-phenyl-(mammea A), propyl-(mammea B), and 4-pentyl-(mammea C) series have been prepared by Pechmann condensation of an acylphloroglucinol (3-methylbutyryl-, 2-methylbutyryl-, butyryl-, or 2-methylpropionyl-) with the appropriate β-ketoester to give a mixture of 6- and 8-acyl-5,7-dihydroxycoumarins that could be separated.C-Alkylation with 3-methylbut-2-enyl bromide, or 3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-dienyl chloride, in aqueous potassium hydroxide completed the synthesis of the Mammea coumarins having unmodified prenyl or geranyl substituents; oxidative modification of the prenyl group led to the mammea cyclo E and cyclo F coumarins.Some mammea cyclo D (chromeno) coumarins were synthesized by reaction of acylcoumarins with 1,1-dimethoxy-3-methylbutan-3-ol.
