Abstract
From the methanolic extract of the leaves of Boenninghausenia albiflora MEISSNER var. japonica S. SUZUKI, a new coumarin, named matsukaze-lactone (I), C20H14O6, m.p. 267∼268°, was isolated. Methylation of I with dimethyl sulfate and methanolic alkali gave an acid (IIa), C22H22O8, which was oxidized to an acid (IIIa), C18H18O8. By decarboxylation of IIIa with copper powder, 2, 2', 4, 6'-tetramethoxybiphenyl (V) was obtained. From these results, the structural formula (Ia), (Ib) and (Ic) were proposed for matsukaze-Iactone.

Coumarins in the Rutaceae

TL;DR: The biogenesis, structural diversity and distribution of simple, furano- and pyranocoumarins in the Rutaceae is reviewed and the potential value of these compounds as taxonomic markers and their possible functions are discussed.

Naturally Occurring Plant Coumarins

TL;DR: 7-hydroxycoumarin [umbelliferone, (2)], one of the most widely distributed coumarins, is often regarded as the parent, in a structural sense and also biogenetically, of a large number of the structurally more complex coumarin.
