Furocoumarins 3,5 and pyranocoumarin 7 were synthesized from the reaction of furonaphthalenediones 2,4 and pyranonaphthalenedione 6 respectively with carbethoxymethylene(triphenyl)phosphorane in refluxing DCM for 3‐6 hours or under microwave irradiation in toluene for a few minutes. Compounds 3,5,7 and their precursors were tested as anti‐inflammatory/antioxidant agents. They were found to compete significantly high DMSO for OH radicals, to scavenge O 2 − and to inhibit lipoxygenase to a high extent.
