Novel tricyclic 3,3a,5,9b‐tetrahydro‐2 H ‐furo[3,2‐c][2]benzopyran (TFB) derivatives were synthesized, and their herbicidal activities were elucidated. They were synthesized from D ‐glucose as a natural chiral source. The formation of the TFB skeleton was achieved by a Friedel–Crafts type intramolecular cyclization of methyl 5‐deoxy‐2,3‐ O ‐dibenzyl‐5‐ C ‐methyl‐ D ‐xylofranosides. The intramolecular cyclization was dependent upon the electronic effects of the substituents at the C ‐2 benzyloxy group of methyl xylofranosides. Some TFBs exhibited a remarkable herbicidal activity to annual paddy weeds, such as Echinochloa sp, without injury to the rice. Copyright © 2004 Society of Chemical Industry
