Two complementary methodologies involving olefin ring-closing metathesis and Knoevenagel-electrocyclization were utilized for the synthesis of alpha-xyloidones and fused chromene-1,4-naphthoquinones 5f-n and 6. The latter methodology was performed under acid catalysis or microwave irradiation allowing the synthesis of alpha-xyloidones 5f-j in moderate to good yield, which could not be obtained via the Knoevenagel-electrocyclization method. On the other hand, the lawsone bis-alkylation (C and 0) then RCM olefin enabled the preparation of simple xyloidone 5m-n and the oxepin-1,4-naphthoquinones 6. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
