“…The uv spectrum showed max (EtOH) at 253.5, 333 nm (log 4.45, 4.01), which is very similar to that of isoacronycidine (2). The ir spectrum showed a carbonyl absorption at 1640 cm"1, and the 'H-nmr spectrum (CDC13) exhibited three methyl groups at 3.74 (3H, s, N-CH3), 3.86 (3H, s, 7-OCH3), and 3.89 (3H, s, 5-OCH3). Two protons on the aromatic ring were found at 6.33 (2H, s), and AB quartets were found at 6.91 (H, d,/=2.5 Hz) and 7.14 (H, d,/=2.5 Hz), representing the protons at position 2 and 3 of the fiiran ring.…”
