5,7-Dihydroxy-3',4'-methylenedioxyflavone (II) on partial tosylation followed by allylation affords 5-allyloxy-3,4-methylenedioxy-7-tosyloxyflavone (IV).Claisen migration of IV followed by methylation and detosylation furnishes 6-C-allyl-7-hydroxy-5-methoxy-3',4'-methylenedioxyflavone (VII).VII has also been prepared by another route.Iodination of II followed by partial allylation gives 7-allyloxy-5-hydroxy-8-iodo-3',4'-methylenedioxyflavone (VIII).Methylation of VIII followed by Claisen migration with simultaneous deiodination affords VII.The latter on oxidation with OsO4-KIO4 furnishes an intermediate aldehyde, which on cyclisation with PPA gives gamatin, identical (m.m.p., IR and PMR) with a natural sample.
