Abstract
Abstract1,4‐Benzoquinones and 1,4‐naphthoquinones bearing 2′‐methyloxiranyl substituents have been synthesized as new bioreductive alkylating agents. The method presented here involved the synthesis of 2‐acetyl‐1,4‐dimethoxybenzenes 6a, b, d and ‐naphthalenes 6c, e, f, conversion of the acetyl group into 2′‐methyloxirane ring using trimethylsulfonium chloride and sodium hydroxide in anhydrous medium, and oxidative demethylation of these intermediates 7a‐f to quinones 8a, c, e, f with silver(II) dipicolinate.
