been detected and identified recently [2, 3] in plants of the family Myristicaceae that are used in folk medicine, we proposea general method of synthesizing this group of natural compounds from dihydroresorcinol (I) and the chloride of the corresponding acid (II) by the following scheme:

1-(2,6-Dihydroxyphenyl)-1-alkanones, natural products identified from insects and from medicinal plants, are readily prepared from 1,3-cyclohexanedione and appropriate carboxylic acids. The final step involves aromatization using mercuric acetate.
Abstract Four new arylalkanones isolated from the stem bark of Myristicadactyloides were identified as 1-(2-methoxy-6-hydroxyphenyl)tetradecan-1-one, 1-(2-methoxy-6-hydroxyphenyl)-9-(3′,4′-methylenedioxyphenyl)-nonan-1-one, 1-(2,6-dihydroxyphenyl)tetradecan-1-one and 1-(2-methoxy-6-hydroxyphenyl)-9-(4′-hydroxyphenyl)-nonan-1-one.
