Stirring 2-geranyl-6-methoxy-1,4-hydroquinone in pyridine/O2 or 2-geranyl-6-methoxy-1,4-benzoquinone in pyridine/N2 affords the dimeric meroterpenoid natural products, scabellones A-C in modest to low yields and also identifies 2-methoxy-6-(4-methylpent-3-en-1-yl)-1,4-naphthoquinone (scabellone E) as a new natural product. The corresponding reaction of the des-methoxy analogue, 2-geranyl-1,4-benzoquinone in degassed pyridine for three days afforded the natural product cordiachromene A (15% yield) and 6-(4-methylpent-3-en-1-yl)-1,4-naphthoquinone (12%), the latter being a likely biosynthetic precursor to the marine meroterpenoid alkaloids, conicaquinones A and B.
Synthesis of various 2H-benzopyran compounds and their kinetic resolution by asymmetric hydrolysis of their racemic acetates mediated by lipases

The preparation of 2H-benzopyrans from bromophenols and tertiary allylic alcohols is described. The reaction is characterised by its mildness, good yields and ease of work-up. Kinetic resolution of the latter up to 95% ee was obtained by using enzyme-cata
Synthesis of 2,2-Dimethyl-2H-chromenes via a Palladium(II) Catalysed Reaction
Iyer, Meera,Trivedi, G. K.
, p. 1347 - 1351 (2007/10/02)
The antijuvenile hormones Precocene-1, Precocene-II and other bioactive 2,2-dimethyl-2H-chromenes have been synthesised by intramolecular oxidative cyclisation of 2-isoprenyl phenols catalysed by a palladium(II) salt.
