Reaction Steps

O-Methyl γ-mangostins such as β-mangostin, 3-O-methyl-γ-mangostin, 6,7-dimethyl-γ-mangostin and 3,6,7-trimethyl-γ-mangostin are conveniently converted to α-mangostin first by demethylation using sodium cyanide (NaCN) in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and then subjected to inventive O-demethylation process to obtain γ-mangostin in good yield and high purity.
