Abstract
The synthesis of orcinoylhydroquinones has been achieved by photochemical Fries rearrangement of their esters. A study of their oxidation (DDQ) shows that oxidative coupling occurs to produce a spirocyclohexenedione which can be thermally isomerised to the xanthone. The synthesis of a tetracyclic xanthone (related to bikaverin) is described.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
