Recent advances in 1,4-benzoquinone chemistry

“…Later, we carried out the Diels-Alder reaction of some fluorinated p-benzoquinones (221) with substituted dienes (222) furnishing the adducts 4a,5,8,8a-tetrahydro-1,4-naphthaquinones (223) in good yield (Scheme 66). 325 The potential utility of such a cycloaddition reaction lies in the synthesis of a number of anthracyclinone analogues. Similar Diels-Alder reactions of numerous 1,4-benzoquinones have been subsequently reported by our group.…”
