A convenient synthesis of furanochromones, viz. 7-methyl-5H-furobenzopyran-5-one (desmethoxyvisnagin), 4-hydroxy-7-methyl-5H-furobenzopyran-5-one (norvisnagin), and 4-methoxy-7-methyl-5H-furobenzopyran-5-one (visnagin) is described.The synthesis utilises blocking the 8-position of the corresponding 7-allyloxychromone derivative with iodine, Claisen migration, followed by oxidation and subsequent cyclo-dehydration.
