Abstract
The naphthoquinone stypandrone (2b) ist synthesized via the intermediates 5a, 6a and 6b. Selective monoalkylation of its hydroquinone yields the monoether 12b, which, on phenol oxida­tion and oxidative dealkylation, leads to 13 and dianellinone (2a). The synthesis confirms the 3.3′-dimerisation of the natural product.
