Abstract
A facile synthesis of the title isocoumarins isolated from. Xyris indica was accomplished. Condensation of butanoyl chloride and 2‐oxo‐butanoyl chloride with 3,4‐methylenedioxyhomophthalic acid afforded xyridin A and xyridin B respectively. Xyridin A was saponified to the corresponding keto acid which on reduction furnished the (±)‐3,4‐dihydro‐6,7‐methylenedioxy‐3‐propylisocoumarin. All of the synthesized compounds were examined in vitro for antibacterial and antifungal activities.
