efficient method is developed for the synthesis of the modified triprenylated chalcone, munchiwarin (1), isolated from the roots of Crotalaria medicagenia. The synthesis of 1 utilizes a Claisen-Schmidt condensation between 2,4-dihydroxy-3,5-C-diprenyl acetophenone and 4-methoxy benzaldehyde in the presence of Ba(OH)(2) to yield the unusual chalcone 5 that contains a nine-membered ether ring. Further prenylation of 5 with 1-bromo-3-methylbut-2-ene and its subsequent demethylation with BBr3 gave munchiwarin (1).
