Benzo[h]chromanols, which possess a tocopherol moiety, have been reported to exhibit potent antioxidant activity. Several benzo[h]chromanols with various substituents (nitro, chloro, bromo, methyl, or amino groups at the position ortho to the phenolic OH group) were synthesized, and the second-order rate constants (k) of their reaction with the galvinoxyl radical were determined. The introduction of electron-withdrawing bromo, chloro and nitro groups decreased the activity, and the activity correlated well with the substituent effect. ortho-Aminobenzo[h]chromanol showed the highest radical scavenging activity among the compounds synthesized.
Naphthoquinones are considered privileged structures for anticancer drug molecules. The Heck reaction of 2‐hydroxy‐1,4‐naphthoquinone (lawsone) with 1‐bromo‐3‐methyl‐2‐butene offered easy access to lapachol. Several naturally occurring linear and angular heterocyclic quinoids (α‐lapachone, β‐lapachone, dunnione, and related analogues) were prepared from lapachol. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the

natural quinones of the lapachol group have been used as starting points for the preparation of several bioactive heterocyclic compounds. Herein, we announce that lapachones, derivatives of lapachol, under certain conditions in the presence of inorganic reagents give unexpected products, spirolactones and naphthalenic derivatives, nordihydrolapachenone and tetrahydrotectol, both naturallyoccurring compounds
underwent automatic site-selective ringopening because of the synergetic effect of the steric strain of the 1,4-epoxy moiety and the electron-donating ability of the siloxy group on the acetal structure to afford the precursors of ortho-naphthoquinone methides (o-NQMs). Subsequent Lewis acid-facilitated o-NQM formation and annulation with olefins afforded multi-fused heterocycles. Notably, the consecutive

Synthesis of Methyl Substituted Chromanol. An Analogue of Vitamin K
Methylation of 2,2-dimethyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[h]chromen-6-ol (1) is examined to yield 2,2,3-trimethyl-3,4-dihidro-2H-benzo[h]chromen-6-ol (2). The compound 2 is prepared by Mannich reaction followed by hydrogenative cleavage of the Mannich bases, which are obtained in the reaction with three kinds of amine. Chloromethylation of 1 quantitatively gave a dimer of naphthoquinone methide.
