N2  - The synthesis of (+)-(S)-1&#8242;,4-dihydroxy-2,3&#8242;-dimethyl-1,2&#8242;-binaphthalene-5,5&#8242;,8,8&#8242;-tetrone (62) and (+)-(S)-4,5&#8242;,8&#8242;-trihydroxy-2,3&#8242;-dimethyl-1,2&#8242;-binaphthalene-1&#8242;,4&#8242;,5,8-tetrone (55), compounds which are atrop-isomeric with the naturally occurring binaphthoquinones (&#8211;)-isodiospyrin and (&#8211;)-8&#8242;-hydroxyisodiospyrin, respectively, is described. The binaphthyl linkages in these compounds were stereoselectively constructed by using oxazoline chemistry. The stereochemical assignments were based on X-ray crystal structure determination and circular dichroic spectroscopy.
