ABSTRACT

In this work, brominated hydroxyanthraquinones, which are the core structural motif of naturally occurring bromorhodocomatulins, were successfully synthesized using Hauser annulation reaction as the key step. When brominated Michael acceptors (brominated p-quinone monoketals) and cyanophthalides or bromocyanophthalides (Hauser donors) were reacted under the annulation conditions, brominated anthraquinones were obtained with 81–87% yields for four examples. On acidic quenching, products were obtained as solid which were separated by filtration and purified by recrystallization in acetone. No chromatography was required.
