Abstract
A short synthesis of (+)-rubiginone B2 is reported. The BF3-mediated Diels-Alder reaction of juglone and (R)-3-methyl-1-vinylcyclohexene followed by aromatization gave the anthraquinone as the desired regioisomer, which was converted into the target antibiotic after a two-step operation.
Key words
