experimental part, p. 47 - 50 (2010/04/05)
A short, efficient synthesis of 2-methoxy-6-alkyl-1,4-benzoquinones is described. Ultrasound-assisted Wittig reaction of alkyltriphenyl phosphonium bromides with o-vanillin in basic aqueous conditions followed by reduction with Na/n-BuOH gave 2-methoxy-6-alkylphenols. Oxidation of 2-methoxy-6-alkylphenols with Fremy's salt produced the title compounds.

A short, high-yielding synthesis of the antitumour agent irisquinone (1) is described. The key steps are the palladium catalysed coupling reaction of dec-9-yn-1-ol with iodide (2) to form alkyne (3) and the Fremy's salt oxidation of phenol (7).
