Abstract
An anionic polycondensation has been used as the key step in a highly convergent strategy for the preparation of hypoxyxylerone derivatives.

Although acetonaphthone 17a was known, [16b] the reported yield was only 3.5%. Therefore, a new route was developed (Scheme [8] , R = H; 30% overall yield). Acetonaphthone 17b [16c] could be prepared through a route analogous to that used for the preparation of acetonaphthone 15b (Scheme [5] , N-methoxy-N-methylacetamide replaces 12); however, a route analogous to that used for 17a proved superior (Scheme [8] , R = OMe; 52% overall yield).

15Procedure for the Preparation of 4 - Polycondensation of 11 and 15b: To a stirred suspension of pentane-washed NaH (79 mg, 3.29 mmol, from a 60% dispersion in mineral oil) in anhyd THF (2.5 mL) under argon at 0 °C was added dropwise a solution of 15b (130 mg, 0.45 mmol) in THF (5.0 mL). The mixture was stirred at 25 °C for 1 h before the addition of a solution of homophthalate 11 (204 mg, 0.76 mmol) in THF (3.5 mL). The resultant mixture was stirred at 25 °C for 2 h and then heated at 80 °C for 20 h (pressure tube). The solution was cooled and aq HCl (6 N) was added, and the resultant mixture was extracted with CHCl3. After the usual workup, the product was flash chromatographed (SiO2, EtOAc in pentane, 30-50%) to give a mixture of 4 and 16 (12% and 25%, respectively, NMR), which was heated in H2O-toluene 5:1 (12 mL) at 180 °C for 16 h (pressure tube). The cooled solution was worked up in the usual way with CHCl3 to afford a solid product, which was triturated with Et2O and filtered to give 4 (79 mg, 37%) as an orange solid. Mp 268-269 °C (CHCl3).

Reflections/parameters ratio: 5; R [I>2σ(I)] = 9.7%; wR [all data] = 9.9%. G. O. F. = 2.22. The poor resolution is due to problems associated with severely disordered CHCl3 molecules in the asymmetric cell and desolvation (capillary tube).
