Abstract

In the presence of the amino acid (S)-(-)-proline, 1,3-dihydroxyanthraquinone (1) is alkylated by phenylacetaldehyde to give an anomeric mixture of lactols (2). The lactols are oxidized to the corresponding lactone (3) by manganese dioxide or chromic acid. Treatment of (2) with p-toluenesulfonic acid yields the expected enol ether (4) along with the substitution product (5). Mass spectrometry fragmentation, high-resolution 1H N.M.R. and 13C n.m.r, studies of these compounds are discussed.
