- Synthesis of Spinochrome D, A Metabolite of Various Sea-Urchin Species
-
The sea-urchin metabolite spinochrome D (1) was synthesized in 58% overall yield via oxidation of 2,3-dichloronaphthazarin (13) into 2-hydroxy-6,7-dichloronaphthazarin (14), O-methylation of 14, nucleophilic substitution by MeO groups of the Cl atoms in the resulting 2-methoxy-6,7-dichloronaphthazarin (19), and hydrolysis of the obtained 2,3,6-trimethoxynaphthazarin (10).

- The Acid-Catalyzed 2- O -Alkylation of Substituted 2-Hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinones by Alcohols: Versatile Preparative Synthesis of Spinochrome D and Its 6-Alkoxy Derivatives
-
A series of substituted 2-alkoxy-1,4-naphthoquinone derivatives were obtained by acid-catalyzed condensation of substituted 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinones with propan-1-ol, butan-1-ol, or pentan-1-ol in good yields. Based on this reaction a versatile preparative synthesis of spinochrome D was developed.
