Abstract
A successful total synthesis of a biologically active pigment from pla nts of the Boraginaceae family was carried out with naphthazarine as t he starting material, and using the 1,4,5,8-tetramethoxynaphthalene, t he corresponding 2-vinyl derivative and its epoxide or a cyclopropane adduct with diazoacetic ester at the key stages. In the course of deve loping the scheme of the synthesis of shikalkin, its three analogs wer e obtained, differing in the nature of the monoterpenoid side chain.
