Extractives from Guttiferae. Part 33. Synthesis of the ozonolysis product from dimethylmangostin, 1-hydroxy-3,6,7-trimethoxy-2,8-bis-(2-oxoethyl)xanthone; some 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of xanthones

Abstract

The synthesis of the dialdehyde 1-hydroxy-3,6,7-trimethoxy-2,8-bis-(2-oxoethyl)xanthone, first obtained from ozonolysis of dimethylmangostin, is described. Xanthone formation by cyclisation of a benzophenone intermediate is followed by selective demethylations, allylation, and Claisen rearrangement. Oxidative cleavage of the allyl side chains in 2,8-diallyl-1,3,6,7-tetramethoxyxanthone, followed by demethylation with boron trichloride, gave the required dialdehyde (5). Some 13C n.m.r. spectra of xanthones are discussed.
