The synthesis of naturally occurring dioxygenated and trioxygenated 3- methylbenz[g]isoquinoline-5,10-diones has been accomplished. The critical step involved regioselective additions of di- or trifluorobenzylzinc bromides to activated methyl 6-methylnicotinate. Aromatizations of the resultant dihydropyridines followed by hydrolysis led to the corresponding benzylpyridinecarboxylic acids which on annulative-oxidations led to the respective difluoro- or trifluorobenz[g]isoquinoline-5,10-diones. Displacements of fluorides by methoxide led to the di- or trimethoxy analogues which on selective demethylations led to bostrycoidin, 8-O- methylbostrycoidin, tolypocladin, 5-deoxybostrycoidin or 5-deoxy-6-O-methyl- bostrycoidin. The synthesis of isobostrycoidin and isotolypocladin has also been accomplished.
Nucleophilic Alkenes. IX Addition of 1,1-Dimethoxyethene to Azanaphthoquinones: Synthesis of Bostrycoidin and 8-O-Methylbostrycoidin

Reaction of 1,1-dimethoxyethene with azanaphthoquinones leads to pairs of isomeric dimethoxyazaanthraquinones by means of 1:2-addition.A photochemical procedure has been developed for substituting these dimethoxy products by a further methoxy, amino or a hydroxy group peri to carbonyl.In this way the antibiotic bostrycoidin (1) and its 8-O-methyl derivative (2), the only natural 2-azaanthraquinone, have been synthesized for the first time.
SYNTHESIS OS BOSTRYCOIDIN AND 8-0-METHYLBOSTRYCOIDIN
Cameron, Donald W.,Deutscher, Kenneth R.,Feutrill, Geoffrey I.
, p. 5089 - 5090 (2007/10/02)
The antibiotic bostrycoidin (1) and its 8-O-methyl derivative (2), the only natural 2-azaanthraquinones, have been synthetized for the first time.
