Synthesis and reactions of isoprenyl terminal epoxides in the chromone and quinoline series
Abstract
The prenylchromone peucenin (9a) was converted into the terminal olefin (11) and the terminal epoxide (13); acid- and base-catalysed cyclisation of the latter furnished a pyranochromone (14a), and the pyranoquinoline (21) was prepared similarly. The furochromone (±)-visamminol (8) was synthesised from peucenin.
