The Synthesis of Stypandrol, a Toxic Binaphthalenetetrol Isolated from Stypandra imbiricata: New Syntheses of Dianellidin and Stypandrone
Rizzacasa, Mark A.,Sargent, Melvyn V.
, p. 1087 - 1097 (2007/10/02)
New syntheses of the naphthalenoid natural products dianellidin (2) and stypandrone (20), which rely on the Fries rearrangement, are described.This methodology is then applied to the synthesis of stypandrol (1), a toxic naphthalenetetrol isolated from Stypandra imbiricata R.Br. ('blind grass').
Dimeric Naphthoquinones, 17. Synthesis of Stypandrone and Dianellinone
Laatsch, Hartmut
, p. 377 - 385 (2007/10/02)
The naphthoquinone stypandrone (2b) ist synthesized via the intermediates 5a, 6a and 6b.Selective monoalkylation of its hydroquinone yields the monoether 12b, which, on phenol oxidation and oxidative dealkylation, leads to 13 and dianellinone (2a).The synthesis confirms the 3,3'-dimerisation of the natural product. - Keywords: Naphthoquinones, Stypandrone, Dianellinone, Phenol Oxidation
