Abstract

Abstract 1 H-Naphtho [2, 3-c] pyran-5, 10-dione derivatives were synthesized using chloromethylation of substituted-2-naphthylacetic acid as the key step. The utility of this method was demonstrated in the synthesis of two-pyranonaphthoquinone antibiotics psychorubrin (1) and pentalongin (2).
