Abstract

The synthesis of azido analogues 2a,2b of the pyranonaphthoquinone antibiotic medermycin 1 has been achieved in eight steps from naphthol 8 and azido glycosyl sugar 7 in 9.3% overall yield. Key steps include the direct BF₃·Et₂O promoted C-glycosylation of naphthol 8, introduction of an acetyl group onto a bromonaphthoquinone via Stille coupling with (α-ethoxy-vinyl)tributyltin, furofuran annulation of a naphthoquinone to a furonaphthofuran using 2-trimethylsilyloxyfuran 5 and oxidative rearrangement of a furonaphthofuran to a furonaphthopyran.

Key words

pyranonaphthoquinone antibiotics - C-glycoside - amino sugar - Stille coupling - naphthoquinone

Unambiguous confirmation of the regiochemical assignment for this bromination step was achieved by preparing 3-bromonaphthalene 14 independently via ortho-bromination of naphthol 17 (Figure).
