Activity of 7-methyljuglone derivatives against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and as subversive substrates for mycothiol disulfide reductase

Dimere Naphthochinone, IV. Synthese von Biramentaceon, Mamegakinon und Rotundichinon

Aerobic oxidative dimerization of 1-naphthols to 2,2′-binaphthoquinones mediated by SnCl4 and its application to natural product synthesis

Reactions of ketene acetals—IX11Part VIII. J. Org. Chem. 41, 3018 (1976).

SnCl4-mediated oxidative biaryl coupling reaction of 1-naphthol and subsequent ring closure of 2,2′-binaphthol to the dinaphthofuran framework

The structures previously assigned to two constituents of Diospyros hebecarpa A. Cunn. are confirmed by the synthesis of 5-hydroxy-7-methyl-l,4-naphthoquinone and its conversion to 1,4-diketo-5-hydroxy-7-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene. By an independent route 5-methoxy-7-methyl-l,4-naphthoquinone has also been prepared, and has been converted to 1,4,5-trimethoxy-7-methylnaphthalene.
