Pericyclic Reactions of Prenylated Naphthoquinones: Biomimetic Syntheses of Mollugin and Microphyllaquinone
摘要:
[GRAPHICS]A total synthesis of the bioactive naphthohydroquinone mollugin and the related naphthoquinone dimer microphyllaquinone is described. Both syntheses exploit the propensity of prenylated quinones to undergo tautomerization/oxa 6 pi electrocyclizations.
