The 13C NMR spectra of a variety of [Ficus platyphylla, F. carica, Ammi majas and A. visnaga] furocoumarins, dihydrofurocoumarins and furochromones are reported. The signals were assigned using carbon-proton coupling constants, ring annullation shifts, nuclear Overhauser effect considerations and shift effects caused by monothioester formation. Substituent effects on 13C chemical shifts and carbon-proton coupling constants are discussed. Methoxyl induced shifts of 5- and 8-substituted furocoumarins are additive, but their effects cannot be transferred to the furochromone system.
