Summary 1. The 2, 3-epoxides (ketoxides) of pomiferin trimethyl ether, tetrahydropomiferin trimethyl ether, isopomiferin dimethyl ether and iso-osajin monomethyl ether have been prepared. 2. Pomiferin trimethyl ether 2, 3-epoxide produces veratric acid on further oxidation. 3. Isopomiferin dimethyl ether and iso-osajin monomethyl ether produce veratric and anisic acids, respectively, on oxidation. Pomiferin dimethyl ether and osajin ...
