The total synthesis of mollugin, a major constituent of rubiaceous herbs, using a straightforward synthetic approach starting from 1,4-naphthoquinone via a sequence of reactions, including selective prenylation, epoxidation, reduction of the quinone moiety, acid-catalysed ring expansion, bromination, dehydration and methoxycarbonylation is presented.
Synthesis of Naturally Occuring Naphthoquinones: Deoxylapachol, 2,3-Di-(3-methyl-but-2-enyl)-1,4-naphthoquinone, 2-Methyl-3-(3-methyl-but-2-enyl)-1,4-naphthoquinone and Lapachol

Deoxylapachol (I), 2,3-di-(3-methyl-but-2-enyl)-1,4-naphthoquinone (II), 2-methyl-3-(3-methyl-but-2-enyl)-1,4-naphthoquinone (III) and lapachol (IV) have been synthesised by the prenylation of 1,4-naphthoquinone (V) (for I and II), 2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone (VII) (for III) and 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (IX) (for IV) by prenyl bromide.
