Abstract
The synthesis of two naphthoquinone antibiotics, dehydroherbarin (7) and 6- deoxybostrycoidin (5), was accomplished by reaction of 3-acetonyl-2-bromome thyl-6,8-dimethoxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (23) with either triethylamine or amm onia, respectively. This is the first report on their synthesis.
