Substituted 1-naphthols (1a-g) have been oxidized by iodoxybenzene to afford a mixture of the corresponding 1,2-(2a-g)-and 1,4-(3a-g)-naphthoquinones.Similar oxidation of a tetrahydro-8-naphthol (8-hydroxycalamenene) (4) gives mansonone-A (5) and a 1,4-quinone (6).During oxidation iodoxybenzene preserves intact labile structural features such as a benzylic tertiary hydroxyl group or a hydroaromatic ring.
