Popis: A new method was developed for synthesis of anthra[2,3-b]furan-5,10-dione derivatives. The key compound for annelation of the furan fragment to the anthraquinone chromophor is the previously unknown analog of salicylaldehyde, 1,4-dimethoxy-3-formyl-2-hydroxyanthraquinone, which we have synthesized by the Miller–Loudon–Schneider reaction. A chain of sequential transformations was used for its conversion into the target 4,11-dihydroxyanthra[2,3-b]furan-5,10-dione (furanoquinizarine): O-alkylation of the starting formylhydroxyanthraquinone with bromoacetic acid esters, cyclo-dehydration of the 3-formylanthraquinon-2-ylacetic acid esters in the presence of bases, hydrolysis of the obtained esters to 4,11-dimethoxy-5,10-dioxo-5,10-dihydroanthra[2,3-b]furan-2-carboxylic acid, its decarboxylation, and demethylation of the obtained 4,11-dimethoxyanthra[2,3-b]furan-5,10-dione.
