A Convenient Synthesis of 3-Substituted 8-Methoxy- and 6,8-Dimethoxyisocoumarins

The reaction of N-methoxy-N-methylamides with the anion of ethyl 2-methoxy-, or 2,4-dimethoxy-6-methylbenzoate gives the corresponding ketones, which are cyclised to give the 3-substituted 8-methoxy- and 6,8-dimethoxyisocoumarins in good overall yield.
