-
An efficient synthesis of dihydrofuranonaphthoquinone, furanonaphthoquinone, and benzonaphthoquinone derivatives has been carried out starting from 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone and a variety of vinyl sulfides in moderate yields.

- A single-step palladium-catalysed synthesis of naphtho[2,3-b]benzofuran-6,11-diones and 2-(hydroxyphenyl)naphthalene-1,4-diones
-
Palladium-catalysed competitive three-component C–H functionalisation reactions and cascade coupling ring-closing reactions of quinones with iodophenols in dihaloalkanes are described. During initial attempts to conduct C–H functionalisation reactions of quinones with iodophenols in dihaloalkanes, surprisingly a three-component C–H functionalisation reaction was discovered. Furthermore, as the reaction of chloroquinones with iodophenols was in progress, another surprising cascade coupling with ring closure was achieved. This provided an efficient single-step synthesis of naphtho[2,3-b]benzofuran-6,11-diones.

- Strategies towards potent trypanocidal drugs: Application of Rh-catalyzed [2?+?2?+?2] cycloadditions, sulfonyl phthalide annulation and nitroalkene reactions for the synthesis of substituted quinones and their evaluation against Trypanosoma cruzi
-
Rhodium-catalyzed [2 + 2 + 2] cycloadditions, sulfonyl phthalide annulations and nitroalkene reactions have been employed for the synthesis of 56 quinone-based compounds. These were evaluated against Trypanosoma cruzi, the parasite that causes Chagas disease. The reactions described here are part of a program that aims to utilize modern, versatile and efficient synthetic methods for the one or two step preparation of trypanocidal compounds. We have identified 9 compounds with potent activity against the parasite; 3 of these were 30-fold more potent than benznidazole (Bz), a drug used for the treatment of Chagas disease. This article provides a comprehensive outline of reactions involving over 120 compounds aimed at the discovery of new quinone-based frameworks with activity against T. cruzi.

- New '2-phenylnaphthalene'-mediated synthesis of benzo[b]naphtho[2,3-d] furan-6,11-diones and 6-oxa-benzo[a]anthracene-5,7,12-triones: First total synthesis of 6-oxa-benzo[a]anthracen-5-ones
-
We describe here a novel synthesis of benzo[b]naphtho[2,3-d]furan-6,11- diones based on the heteroannulation of 2-(2-bromophenyl)-3-hydroxy-1,4- naphthoquinones. The naphthoquinones were prepared from 3-(2-bromophenyl) naphthalen-2-ols, which were obtained by intramolecular aldol condensation of 2-[3-(2-bromophenyl)-2-oxo-propyl]benzaldehydes. Alternatively, benzo[b]naphtho[2,3-d]furan-6,11-diones were obtained more directly and efficiently by cyclization of 3-(2-bromophenyl)naphthalen-2-ols to benzo[b]naphtho[2,3-d]furans and oxidation of the resulting compounds. Furthermore, the first 6-oxabenzo[a]anthracen-5-one described was similarly obtained from 2-[3-(2-formylphenyl)-2-oxopropyl]benzoic acid and oxidized to 6-oxa-benzo[a]anthracene-5,7,12-trione.

Ceric(IV) ammonium nitrate-mediated oxidative cycloaddition of 1,3-dicarbonyls to vinyl sulfides afforded substituted dihydrofurans with sulfide groups in moderate yields. This new synthetic method has been applied to the synthesis of benzo[b]naphtho[2,3-d]furan-6,11-dione and furanoflavone natural products such as millettocalyxins C and pongol methyl ether.
