Alboatrin model 7 (5-hydroxy-2,3,3a,9a-tetrahydro-4H-furo [2,3-b][1]benzopyran) has been prepared in three steps in 47% overall yield. The three-step synthesis involves a convergent cycloadditon of 1,3-cyclohexanedione, formaldehyde and 2,3-dihydrofuran followed by aromatization of the 3-alkoxy-2-cyclohexenone moiety to an electron rich resorcinol monoether by α-benzeneselenenylation and oxidation with 3-phenyl-2-(p-toluenesulfonyl)oxaziridine (Davis reagent) in the presence of 3,5-dimethoxyaniline.
