An NADPH-dependent oxidoreductase from Talaromyces islandicus WF-38-12 has been identified through genome analysis. It has been shown to catalyze a regio- and stereoselective reduction of anthrols (formed in situ by the reduction of anthraquinones in the presence of Na2S2O4) to (R)-dihydroanthracenones, with high enantiomeric excess (>99%). The implications of results on the biosynthesis of deoxygenated (bis)anthraquinones and modified (bis)anthraquinones are discussed.

An unusual peri-dimerised product was obtained when subjecting 1,3,6,8-tetramethoxynaphthalene to Vilsmeier-Haack reaction conditions (POCl3/DMF). The formation of this peri-dimerised naphthalene product suggests that 1,3,6,8-tetramethoxynaphthalene has comparable reactivity to that of Proton Sponge [1,8-bis(dimethylamino)naphthalene]. The octamethoxy peri-dimer was characterised using NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, UV/Vis spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, electrochemistry, X-ray crystallography and DFT calculations. The one-electron oxidation of the peri-dimerised naphthalene compound yielded a radical cation that was studied by EPR spectroscopy and UV/Vis spectroscopy at low temperatures. The experimental observations were confirmed by DFT calculations. The Vilsmeier-Haack reaction (POCl 3/DMF) of 1,3,6,8-tetramethoxynaphthalene gave an unusual peri-cyclised dimer as well as the 1-naphthaldehyde. The dimer is a potent donor molecule. Copyright
