The oxidative demethylation of 1,4-dimethoxynaphthalene and 1,4- dimethoxybenzene derivatives with cobalt(III) fluoride proceeded in good to excellent yield to afford the corresponding naphthoquinone and benzoquinone derivatives.

A general synthesis of anthraquinones which depends on the displacement of the methoxy group from an o-methoxyaryldihydro-oxazole by a methoxy substituted benzylmagnesium chloride, generated by using a magnesium-anthracene complex, has been developed.The masked benzylbenzoic acids which result from these reactions are deprotected and then ring-closed to anthrones which on oxidation yield anthraquinones.In this way, the followeing naturally occurring anthraquinones (or derivatives thereof have been synthesized): chrysophanol (9), islandicin (19), digitopurpone (21), tri-O-methylemodin (26), and di-O-methylsoranjidiol (29).
