Maf. Brandao et al., COMBINED DIRECTED METALATION - CROSS COUPLING STRATEGIES - A REGIOSPECIFIC ROUTE TO HETERORING-ANNELATED ORTHO-NAPHTHOQUINONES AND A SHORT SYNTHESIS OF BETA-LAPACHONE, Tetrahedron letters, 34(15), 1993, pp. 2437-2440
A general combined metalation - cross coupling methodology (Scheme 1)
for the regiospecific construction of heteroring fused o-naphthoquinon
es 8 is described and its application to a short synthesis of the anti
malarial/antitumor natural product beta-lapachone (14) is demonstrated
.
