| Application: | 1,4-Naphthoquinone is the key structural moiety of many anticancer and antifungal agents. It can be used to synthesize: • 3,3-Disubstituted oxindoles via asymmetric Michael addition to oxindole. • Bioactive isoindolines via asymmetric 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition to azomethine ylides generated in situ from aldehydes and diethyl aminomalonate. • α,α-Difluoro-β-hydroxy ketone via ‘on water’ catalyst-free Mukaiyama-aldol reaction with difluoroenoxysilane. • 2-Hydroxy-3-anilino-1,4 Additional appilcation include: • As an arylation reagent for the α-arylation of aldehydes. • As a starting material in the multi-step synthesis of benz[f]indole-4,9-diones. |
