Abstract

Renewed interest i: n the synthesis of the anthraquinone pigments islandicin (la)'and digitopurpone (1b) 2 has been aroused since these substances bear a substitution pattern reminisecnt of the clinically important anthracyclinones daunomycinone and adriamycinone (2b). 4 Recently, total syntheses5 of these compounds and some
