Abstract

The first synthesis of 1-(3'-methoxypropanoyl)-2,4,5-trimethoxybenzene 4, a natural phenylpropanoid occurring in Cordia alliodora, has been achieved, from β-asarone 1 of Acorus calamus. Selenium dioxide oxidation of 1 leads to 2,4,5-trimethoxycinnamaldehyde 2, which on treatment with sodium cyanide, acetic acid, manganese dioxide in methanol yields methyl 2,4,5-trimethoxycinnamate 3. Selective reduction of 3 gives 4 as a solid, spectral data of which agrees well with reported natural viscous gum 4.
