The synthesis of clausarin (14), a novel coumarin isolated from the roots of Clausena pentaphylla has been achieved.The synthetic strategy involves triple Claisen rearrangement of 5-methoxy-7-O-(3,3-dimethylallyl)coumarin (5) in butyric anhydride to afford the products (6) and (7).The latter 7 on alkaline hydrolysis followed by reaction with 1-bromo-3-methylbut-2-ene furnishes 5-methox-7-O-(3,3-dimethylallyl)coumarin (10).A similar Claisen rearrangement of 10 followed by alkaline hydrolysis gives the phenol (12) which on condensation with 3-hydroxyisovaleraldehyde dimethyl acetal affords O-methylclausarin (15).Demethylation of 15 with boron tribromide finally yields the title compound.
