(Chemical Equation Presented) Lanciaquinone, isolated from Maesa lanceolate, was originally assigned as a bisbenzoquinone with a C 14-chain linking the two quinone rings. A synthesis of the reported structure, in which the key step is a double Clalsen rearrangement, suggests that the structure of the natural product needs to be revised.
