The structure of 2-methoxystypandrone a naphthoquinone isolated from Polygonum cuspidatum, Rhamnus fallax, and Ventilago calyculata is confirmed by synthesis as 6-acetyl-5-hydroxy-2-methoxy-7-methylnaphthalene-1,4-dione (1).The structure proposed for ventilaginone, an unusual naphthalene isolated from Ventilago maderaspatana, 8,9-dimethoxy-5-methylnaphtho-1,3-dioxin-4-yl methyl ketone (17), is shown by synthesis to be erroneous.Alternative structures are considered.
