Abstract

Efficient syntheses of the highly substituted benzophenone graphisin A and the xanthone sydowinin B are described. Key steps involve aryl anion addition to substituted benzaldehyde derivatives, subsequent methyl ester installation, and dehydrative cyclization. Oxidation of graphisin A led to a spirodienone derived from a highly substituted benzoquinone intermediate.
