Abstract

Photo-Fries rearrangement of the o- fluoro ester of 3-hydroxy-6, 7-dimethoxycoumarin yielded the corresponding 3-hydroxy-4-(2-fluorobenzoyl)-coumarin which, in the presence of potassium carbonate, cyclised to the 2,3-dimethoxyrotenonoid. (1)-Benzofuran-(2, 3-c)–(6H, 12H)-(1)–benzoxepin- 6-ones underwent oxidation to the corresponding β-rotenonoids reluctantly.
