Two new diphenyl ethers, 4-(2-carboxy-3-heptyl-5-methoxyphenoxy)-2-heptyl-6-hydroxybenzoic acid (micareic acid) (13), 4-(2-carboxy-3-heptyl-5-methoxyphenoxy)-2-heptyl-6-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoic acid (methoxymicareic acid) (27) and a new depside, 4-(2-heptyl-6-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzoyloxy)- 2-heptyl-6-hydroxybenzoic acid (prasinic acid) (34) have been detected in chemical races of the lichen Micarea prasina Fr. and isolated and characterized as the corresponding methyl esters. The structure of the latter compounds has been confirmed by total synthesis. The key steps in the synthesis of the diphenyl ethers (14), (26) involved Ullmann-like condensation between the 3-chloro 2-enone (17) and the phenols (11), (31), and subsequent aromatization of the enol ethers (23) and (32). A biomimetic-type synthesis of methyl micareate (48) has also been achieved by treatment of the depside (33) with sodium hydride in dimethylformamide.

It is shown that the sodium hydride (in dimethyl formamide) induced elimination of hydrogen bromide from 1,3-dibromo-2-(tetrahydropyran-2-yloxy)propane (3) can be considered to result in the in situ formation of 3-bromo-2-(tetrahydropyran-2-yloxy)propene (4). When generated in this manner, 4 was shown to function as a masked acetonyl bromide of considerable utility. Under similar conditions, 1,3-dibromo-2-methoxypropane was assumed to produce 3-bromo-2-methoxypropene, which also was shown to be a useful masked acetonyl bromide.The pyrolytic elimination of methanol from bromoacetone dimethyl ketal was shown to produce a 1:1 mixture of the two possible isomeric enol ethers, rather than pure 3-bromo-2-methoxypropene as stated in the literature (2).
