Metal salt mediated radical reactions of 2-substituted-1, 4-naphthoquinones

The silver(II)- and manganese(III)-mediated radical reactions of 2-substituted-l, 4-naphthoquinones are described. Acyl radicals generated by the oxidative decarboxylation of αketo acids with silver(I) nitrate and persulfate undergo efficient radical addi

Short-step synthesis of 1, 3-disubstituted naphtho[2, 3-c] furan-4, 9-dione and naphtho[2, 3-b] furan-4, 9-dione by the friedel-crafts reaction

1,3-Dialkylnaphtho [2,3-c] furan-4,9-diones were obtained by the Friedel-Crafts reaction of phthalic anhydride with 2,5-dialkylfurans. The reaction of phthalic anhydride with 2-acetyl-5-methylfuran, instead of 2,5-dialkylfurans, produced 2-methylnaphtho[2,3-b]furan-4,9-dione. The application of this method to the synthesis of 8-hydroxynaphtho[2,3-b] furan-4, 9-dione [isodiodantunezone] is also described.
