Synthesis of the cytotoxic isoquinoline quinone perfragilin A, an improved synthesis of perfragilin B and preparation of some analogues of both these compounds are described. Cytotoxicity evaluation of a number of the products is reported. The regioselectivity in Diels-Alder reactions of differently substituted benzoquinones with 2-aza-1,3-bis(t-butyldimethylsilyloxy)-1,3-butadiene is described.
Reductive-alkylation and aromatic coupling reactions of 1,4-benzoquinone derivatives promoted by ethylaluminum dichloride

, p. 1 - 6 (2007/10/03)
Reactions of several substituted 1,4-benzoquinones with ethylaluminum dichloride in dichloromethane were studied. It was found that some quinones undergo a new radical aromatic coupling under these conditions, while others undergo a 1,6-reductive O-alkylation.
