Synthesis of the Naphthalene Portion of the Rubromycins
摘要:
[GRAPHICS]A synthesis of a reduced version of the naphthazarin found in the rubromycin class of natural products is reported. The naphthalene ring system is formed via a Dotz reaction with a symmetrical alkyne. Differentiation between the C1 ' and C3 ' groups of the Dotz adduct is achieved by selective oxidation since the two methylene groups possess different oxidation potentials.
