Polyphosphoric acid transforms lapachol methyl ether (II) into β-lapachone (III), lapachol (I) into α- and β-lapachones (VII and III), lomatiol (IV) into iso-α-lapachone (VIII) and dehydro-α-lapachone (IX), and dihydroxyhydrolapachol (V) into 3'-hydroxy-β-lapachone (X).All the products obtained are naturally occurring compounds.Reaction of 2-hydroxy-3-(2-methylprop-1-enyl)-1,4-naphthoquinone (VI) furnishes 2,2-dimethyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-4,5-dioxonaphthofuran (XI).
