A concise approach for the frst total synthesis of two naturally occurring flavanoids,（）-malaysianone A（1）and（）-tanariflavanones B（2）,has been accomplished with total yields of 12.9%and 10.4%,respectively.The key steps were regioselective deprotection and regioselective synthesis of 5-formaldehyde-8-hydroxy-2-[40-methyl-30-penteneyl]-dihydro-1-benzopyran（8）.

A facile approach for the first synthesis of ocimarin, naturally occurring coumarins, was developed by employing a cerium （III） chloride heptahydrate-catalyzed Pechmann condensation of phenols and β-keto esters in a solvent-free system as key step, by which ocimarin was achieved by three steps starting from acetylacetic ether and resorcinol with total yield 23.2%. All structures of new compounds were confirmed by IR, ^1H NMR and MS.

The new ligand N-benzyl-2-{2’-[(benzyl-ethyl-carbamoyl)-methoxy]-dinaphthalene-2-yloxy}-N-ethyl-acetamide(L) and its complexes of rare earth picrates were synthesized.The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis,IR,UV-vis spectra and conductivity measurements.The fluorescence properties of the europium complex in solid state and CHCl3,ethyl acetone,acetonitrile and DMF were investigated.Under the excitation,the europium complex exhibited characteristic emissions of europium.The lowest triplet state energy level of the ligand indicated that the triplet state energy level of the ligand matched better to the resonance level of Eu(Ⅲ) than Tb(Ⅲ) ion.
