Two different strategies are presented to synthesize mollugin, based upon a close investigation of possible natural precursors. The best total synthesis of mollugin, a natural product isolated from rubiaceous herbs, is achieved in an overall yield of 61% starting from 1,4-dihydroxynaphthalene-2-carboxylic acid. The key reaction is the prenylation and spontaneous pyran ring formation. Subsequent oxidation of the intermediate 3,4-dihydromollugin with DDQ afforded mollugin.
在对可能的天然前体进行仔细研究的基础上,提出了两种不同的合成莫卢金的方法。莫卢金是从茜草科植物中分离出的天然产物,从1,4-二羟基萘-2-羧酸开始,以61%的总收率实现了莫卢金的最佳全合成。关键反应是萜烯化和吡喃环的自发形成。随后用DDQ氧化中间产物3,4-二氢莫卢金,得到莫卢金。
