Zonisamide, a 1,2-benzisoxazole derivative, is an important antiepileptic agent available on the market [1,2]. It has a close resemblance to indole and the 1,2-benzisoxazole nucleus can be substituted for the indole nucleus as far as auxin (plant cell growth substance) like activity is concerned [3]. Several 3-substituted 1,2-benzisoxazole derivatives have been reported to show anticonvulsive activity [4]. 1,2-Benzisoxazole phosphoradiamidates as a novel antitumor prodrug via bioreductive activation have been also studied [5]. Flucloxacillin, Oxacillin, Cloxacillin, and Dicloxacillin belong to the class of new isoxazole penicillins in current clinical use [6].Some furobenzisoxazole derivatives are reported to possess hypotensive, uricosuric, and diuretic activities and, hence, are useful as therapeutics for the treatment of hyperuricemia, edema, and hypertension [7,8], which prompted us to synthesize new furobenzisoxazole derivatives. Several reports are available in the literature for the synthesis of 1,2-benzisoxazole [9-11], but not much work has been done for the synthesis of furobenzisoxazole. We report herein the synthesis of some new furobenzisoxazole derivatives from hydroxyfurocoumarin.We have synthesized new hydroxyfurocoumarin, which on Posner reaction [12] with hydroxylamine gave furobenzisoxazole. New derivatives of furobenzisoxazole have been synthesized, and interesting observations have been recorded during the course of studies.As shown in Scheme 1, 1-(6-hydroxy-3-methylbenzofuran-5-yl)ethanone 1 [13] and 1-(4-hydroxy-3-methyl-benzofuran-5-yl)ethanone 2 [13] on reaction with pulverized sodium and diethyl carbonate [14] gave new linear 5-hydroxy-3-methylfuro[3,2-g]chromen-7-one 3 and angular 7-hydroxy-3-methylfuro[3,2-g]chromen-7-one 4 isomers, respectively. The structures of both compounds were confirmed by their 1 H NMR spectra.
