The total synthesis of polyprenylhydroquinols and benzoquinones is described.First, two appropriate aromatic allyl carbonates (moieties with one and two prenyls) and two activated bifunctional terpenyl derivatives (moieties with two and three prenyls) were synthesized.These molecules were then reacted together using a highly regio- and stereoselective coupling with Pd(PPh3)4 as a catalyst.The synthesis was achieved by functional group elimination and formation of quinonic and hydroquinonic moieties. - Keywords: polyprenylbenzoquinol; polyprenylhydroquinone; allylcarbonate; ?-allyl palladium complex
