Abstract

A stereoselective synthesis of (-)-ilimaquinone (4) is presented. The synthetic strategy is based on a novel radical decarboxylation and quinone addition methodology that produces quinone 7 from reaction of thiohydroxamic acid derivative 8 with benzoquinone (9). Final functionalization of 7 to ilimaquinone (4) is achieved by exploring the electronic effects of the residual thiopyridyl group.
