A facile, divergent access to highly oxygenated benzocyclobutene derivatives was developed via the regioselective [2 + 2] cycloaddition of α-alkoxybenzynes and ketene silyl acetals. The cycloadducts could be converted to selectively protected alkoxybenzocyclobutenediones, an attractive class of compounds for the synthesis of polyaromatic compounds. As one possible application, divergent access to a regioisomer pair of sulfonylphthalides for the Hauser approach to polyaromatic compounds is described.

The annelation chemistry of quinone monoketals with dimethyl homophthalate, 7-methoxy-3-(phenylsulfonyl)-1(3H)-isobenzofuranone, and 7-methoxy-3-cyano-1(3H)-isobenzofuranone has been studied.The first two reagents mentioned above allowed the formation of oxygenated tri- and tetracyclic anthrone and anthraquinone systems in 40-50percent yields.While less extensively studied, the 7-methoxy-3-cyano-1(3H)-isobenzofuranone afforded a 75percent yield in an annelation reaction with a highly functionalized monoketal.These reactions, coupled with the unique effect of an allylic methoxylgroup on the regiochemistry of quinone bisketal hydrolysis, allowed a regiospecific preparation of certain tetracyclic anthraquinones.The work reported herein comprises a formal synthesis of racemic daunomycinone and forms a basis for an efficient, practical synthesis of fully functionalized anthracyclinones.
