As it says, it describes the synthesis of carpacin
(6-methoxy-3,4-methylenedioxy-1-allylbenzene) from sesamol
(3,4-methylenedioxyphenol).a little error-correction:
carpacin is a propenylbenzene, that is also an excellent
precursor. here are some other possible names:
carpacin= 1,2-methylenedioxy-5-methoxy-4-
trans-propenylbenzene
= 3,4-MD-6-MeO-(E)-propenylbenzene
= 6-methoxy-
trans-isosafrole
= 6-MeO-(E)-isosafrole
according to shulgin, the allyl isomer is called asaricin, see:
