, p. 609 - 612 (1982)
The new total synthesis of pyranonaphthoquinone antibiotics, (+/-)-nanaomycin A (1) and (+/-)-deoxyfrenolicin (2), is discussed.The key step in the reaction sequence is Lewis acid mediated Michael addition of acylnaphthoquinone (5) with methyl 2-(dimethylphenylsilyl)-3-butenoate (7).
A Short Synthesis of Deoxyfrenolicin

Oxidative rearrangement of furonaphthofuran 8 using CAN provided an efficient route to the hemiacetal 9 which has a three-ring system in common with that in the natural products frenolicin A 1, frenolicin B 2 and deoxyfrenolicin 3.Attempted reduction of the hemiacetal 9 to the cis-lactone 11 using triethylsilane and trifluoroacetic acid was unsuccessful, however, hydrogenation of the hemiacetal 9 not only effected reduction of the hemiacetal group to a cyclic ether but also hydrogenolysis of the γ-lactone to the ring-opened carboxylic acid which was conveniently characterized as its methyl ester 13.Deprotection of the methyl ether 13 to the naphthol 15 using boron tribromide also affected cis-trans epimerisation at C-1 thus completing a synthesis of deoxyfrenolicin 3 upon hydrolysis of the methyl ester to the carboxylic acid.
Allylation of 2-Alkanoyl 1,4-Quinones with Allylsilanes and Allylstannanes. Efficient Synthesis of Pyranonaphthoquinone Antibiotics
Uno, Hidemitsu
, p. 350 - 358 (2007/10/02)
Total syntheses of pyranonaphthoquinone antibiotics eleutherin, isoeleutherin, nanaomycin A, and deoxyfrenolicin are described.The crucial step in the route is a regioselective allylation of alkanoyl quinones with allylsilanes and allylstannanes.The allyl

Two routes for the synthesis of (+/-)-nanaomycin A (1) starting with 2-bromo-8-methoxy-1,4-naphtoquinone (2) are described.The benzindanone (3) prepared from (2) in three steps was treated with methylmagnesium iodide and then with hydrochloric acid to afford the benzindene (8).Lemieux-Johnson oxidation of (8) gave the ketoaldehyde (9), which was converted into the conjugated ester (10) by reaction with methoxycarbonylmethylenetriphenylphosphorane.Reductive cyclisation of (10) with sodium borohydride afforded a ca. 1:1.9 mixture of the cis-naphthopyran (11) and its trans-isomer (12).Oxidative demethylation of (11) and (12) with cerium(IV) followed by treatment with aluminium chloride yielded the corresponding quinones (15) and (16).Ester hydrolysis of (16) formed (+/-)-nanaomycin A (1).Reductive methylation of the 2-allyl derivative of (2) afforded the bromonaphthalene (18), which was treated with butyl-lithium followed by acetaldehyde to give the naphthylcarbinol (19).The lactol (20) obtained by Lemieux-Johnson oxidation of (19) was treated with trimethyl phosphonoacetate-sodium hydride to yield a ca. 2.1:1 mixture of the naphthopyrans (11) and (12).Cyclisation of (19) with mercury(II) acetate-sodium borohydride yielded a ca. 1:0.9 mixture of the cis-naphthopyran (21) and its trans-isomer (22), which were oxidatively demethylated to give (+/-)-eleutherin (4) and (+/-)-isoeleutherin (5) respectively.
