Abstract
5,6-Methylenedioxy-2-isopropenylbenzo[b]furan, an analogue of the naturally-occurring 5,6-dimethoxy compound, has been synthesized by the dehydration of the corresponding 2-(1’-hydroxy)isopropyl derivative, which was obtained from 2-hydroxy-4,5-methylenedioxybenz-aldehyde. By the catalytic hydrogenation of the benzofuran, its 2-isopropyl derivative and its 2-isopropyl-2,3-dihydrofurano-compound were prepared. The NMR spectra of these compounds have been compared.
