Abstract

1, R= rhodosamine. 2-deoxyfucose. and cinerulose A residues quired a simple and practical approach to various 1-hydroxy-3-methylanthraquinones as well as the corresponding w- hydroxy compounds. The natural products pachybasin (2) 2 and w-hydroxypachybasin (3) 3 are prototypes of these structures. Using Diels-Alder based methodology, we now report a simple, one-pot synthesis of pachybasin, as well as new syntheses of w- ...
