  • Title: Biomimetic synthesis of antimalarial naphthoquinones.
    Author: Malerich JP, Maimone TJ, Elliott GI, Trauner D.
    Journal: J Am Chem Soc; 2005 May 04; 127(17):6276-83. PubMed ID: 15853334.
    Abstract:
    The total synthesis of naphthoquinone natural products isolated from the Bignoniaceae plant family is described. Pinnatal, isopinnatal, sterekunthals A and B, pyranokunthones A and B, and anthrakunthone have been prepared along the lines of a biosynthetic proposal involving pericyclic reactions as key steps. The first case of catalysis in oxa 6pi electrocyclizations is reported.
