(Chemical Equation Presented) Lanciaquinone, isolated from Maesa lanceolate, was originally assigned as a bisbenzoquinone with a C 14-chain linking the two quinone rings. A synthesis of the reported structure, in which the key step is a double Clalsen rearrangement, suggests that the structure of the natural product needs to be revised.
Regioselective synthesis of substituted pterocarpans and pterocarpenes. Lewis acid Ti(IV) promoted formal (3 + 2) cycloaddition reactions

A synthesis of novel pterocarpans (8a-3, 10a-c and 11a-e) and pterocarpenes (7a-d and 9a-c) has been carried out. This method involves the Lewis acid Ti(IV) promoted formal (3 + 2) cycloaddition reaction of 2-alkoxy-1,4-benzoquinones (6a-c) with appropriately substituted 2H-chromenes (1a-b, 2a-b and 5) at -78°C.
