Abstract

Communications to the Editor J. Am. Chem. SOC., Vol. 111. No. 21, 1989 8307 converted to the differentially protected hemiacetal Regioselective bromination and DIBAL reduction gave 12, which could be induced to undergo a critical rearrangement and closure to 13 (40% overall yield from 8) in the presence of a catalytic amount of triisopropylsilyl (T1PS) triflate and diethylaluminum chloride." Following anthraquinone formation, the ...
