5-Hydroxy-3-methyl-3H-benzofuran-2-one,5, easily obtained from pyruvic acid and 1,4-cyclohexanedione, was used as a starting material to prepare (±)-5-hydroxy-3a-methyl-2,3,3a,8a-tetrahydro-furo[2,3-b]benzofuran,10, and (±)-7-hydroxy-5-methyl-4,5-dihydro-2,5-methano-1,3-benzodioxepine,14. Reduced reactivity relative to 5-hydroxy-3-methoxycarbonylmethylene-3-methyl-3H-benzofuran-2-one,6, was preliminarily studied. Meanwhile, a plausible mechanism with regard to the formation of10and14, which included cyclization, rearrangement, and ring expansion of hemiacetal,15, is proposed. Specific carbamates of phenols,10and14, have shown impressive inhibitory activities against human acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) ex vivo.
