Synthesis and bioactivities of naturally occurring anthraquinones: Isochrysophanol, isozyganein, ω-hydroxyisochrysophanol and morindaparvin

Isochrysophanol, isozyganein, ω-hydroxyisochrysophanol, and morindaparvin are naturally occurring substituted anthraquinones. We report the synthesis of these compounds as well as selected biological activities.

Regiospecific Addition of Monooxygenated Dienes to Halo Quinones

In spite of their decreased polarity with respect to previously studied electron-rich analogues, monooxygenated dienes also react regiospecifically with halo quinones.The corresponding adducts can easily be aromatized on silica gel to isomeric polysubstituted naphthoquinones of unambiguous structure and therefore provide ready access to substrates for subsequent regiospecific annulations.The scope of this approach is illustrated by advantageous syntheses of several natural products: chimaphilin, 6-methylalizarin, 6-methylxantopurpurin, and barleriaquinone.The adductscan also give rise to a series of products in which the oxygen function of the dienes is preserved as a hydroxyl group in the quinone.To this end adducts derived from 1-oxygenated dienes and halo quinones were oxidized effectively with Jones reagent while those obtained from the 2-oxygenated isomers responded better to manganese dioxide.Relative positions of substituens in the adducts were readily confirmed by comparison of some of the hydroxylated oxidation products with known compounds of unambiguous structure.The method is again illustrated by the ready synthesis of a number of natural products including plumbagin, soranjidiol, isochrysophanol and its 8-methyl ether, and isozyganein and its 5-methyl ether.

REACTIONS OF KETENE ACETALS-14; THE USE OF SIMPLE MIXED VINYLKETENE ACETALS IN THE ANNULATION OF QUINONES

α,β- and β,γ-unsaturated esters can be converted by strong base and chlorotrimethylsilane to the corresponding mixed vinylketene acetals which are shown to be particularly useful and generally applicable reagents for the regiospecific annulation of halogenoquinones.The reaction proceeds readily with a variety of substrates including benzoquinones.
