Trioxo ester 15 was prepared by attachment of two vicinal C4 and C-6 ketide side chains on the anthraquinone core (6b). Mild base treatment of 15 initiated successive aldol condensations to produce the benzo[a]naphthacenequinone 16 regioselectively in one operation. Deprotection of 16 afforded the antibiotic G-2A (1) and decarboxylation of 1 lead to G-2N (2).

The synthesis of angularly fused quinone natural products has been achieved using a photoenolization reaction and a Diels-Alder reaction in the key carbon-carbon bond forming steps.
