Furocoumarins comprise natural compounds with a variety of structures that in most instances are derivatives of the linear furocoumarin psoralen [1]. Natural furocoumarins and their synthetic analogs have various physiological activities that depend on the chemical structure. Thus, furocoumrains with carbocycles annellated at the 5,6-positions exhibit photoantiproliferative [2-5] and cardiotropic [6] activities and act as CNS stimulants [6].In continuation of research on the synthesis and properties of furocoumarins [6-9], herein we report the preparation of tetracyclic psoralen-type furocoumarins containing a cycloheptane ring annellated to the 5,6-positions of a furo[3,2-g]chromen-7-one.3-Hydroxy-8,9,10,11-tetrahydrocyclohepta[c]chromen-6-one (1) and its 4-methyl analog (2) that were necessary for further transformations were prepared by Pechmann condensation of resorcinol and 2-methylresorcinol, respectively, with methyl-2-oxo-1-cycloheptanecarboxylate in the presence of conc. H 2 SO 4 at 0°C [10, 11]. 1, 23, 45: R = H; 2, 24, 46: R = Me; 3, 25: R = H, R 1 = Me; 4, 26: R = R 1 = Me, 5, 27: R = H, R 1 = t-Bu; 6, 28: R = Me, R = t-Bu; 7, 29: R = H, R 1 = R 2 = Me; 8, 30: R = R 1 = R 2 = Me, 9, 31: R = H, R 1 = Me, R 2 = Ph; 10, 32: R = R 1 = Me, R 2 = Ph; 11, 33: R = H, R 1 = Ph; 12, 34: R = Me, R 1 = Ph, 13, 35: R = H, R 1 = 4-FPh; 14, 36: R = H, R 1 = 4-FPh; 15, 37: R = H, R 1 = 4-ClPh; 16, 38: R = Me, R 1 = 4-ClPh 17, 39: R = H, R 1 = 4-BrPh; 18, 40: R = Me, R 1 = 4-BrPh; 19, 41: R = H, R 1 = 4-MeOPh; 20, 42: R = Me, R 1 = 4-MeOPh 21, 43: R = H, R 1 = 3-MeOPh; 22, 44: R = Me, R 1 = 3-MeOPh
