Asymmetric total syntheses of teretifolione B and methylteretifolione B via Diels-Alder reaction of optically active pyranobenzyne and substituted furans
report the asymmetric total syntheses of teretifolione B and methylteretifolione B, which are benzochromenes originally isolated from Conospermum plants. The synthesis involves enzymatic asymmetric transesterification of racemic acetoxychromene and construction of the basic framework via Diels-Alder reaction of optically active pyranobenzyne and substituted furans. The absoluteconfiguration of the chiral

Novel 2-hydroxy-3-nitro-1,4-naphthoquinones were synthesized by an improved method utilizing nitronium tetrafluoroborate in high yields. A subsequent conversion to 2-chloro-3-nitro-1,4-naphthoquinones and a substitution of the chlorine by hydroxyquinone anions yielded 3-nitro-2,2‘-binaphthoquinones with a complete regiocontrol.

Unsymmetrical biquinone and trimeric quinone derivatives were synthesized using halotriflate-biselectrophilic naphthoquinones through stepwise regioselective quinone substitution chemistry and evaluated for their ability to inhibit the cytopathogenic effects of HIV-1 using an MTT colorimetric assay. Compounds were also screened for their ability to inhibit the activity of HIV-1 integrase in vitro. Pyranylated trimeric quinones and biquinones exhibited both antiviral activity and integrase inhibitory activity. Conocurvone 1 and trimeric quinone 21 were the most potent HIV integrase inhibitors in the series. All of the biquinones showed HIV inhibitory activity. Simple methoxy substituted biquinones did not inhibit HIV-1 integrase. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
