Abstract

Reaction of 5- or 7-methoxy-2-tetralone with an α-bromoester using lithium diisopropylamide as the base gave tricyclic naphtho[2,1-b]furan-2-ones in one step. Catalytic reduction, epimerization with triethylamine and microbial transformations yielded several related analogues. Some naphtho[2,1-b]furan-2- ones showed anti-inflammatory and breast cancer migration inhibitory activities.
