Readily available ethyl-4-acetoxy-6,8-dimethoxynaphthalene-2-carboxylate was converted into 1-[3-allyl-4-(benzyloxy)-6,8-dimethoxy-2-naphthyl)-1-ethanol in seven steps. Subjection of this compound to Wacker oxidation conditions provided 5-benzyloxy-7,9-dimethoxy-1,3-dimethyl-1H-benzo[g]isochromene in good yield. Hydrogenation of the isochromene afforded (+/-)-cis-7,9-dimethoxy-1,3-dimethyl-1H-benzo[g]isochroman-5-ol as the major product, which was readily converted into ventiloquinone L.

Studies towards the biomimetic synthesis of cardinalin 3 are described. Despite the successful enantioselective synthesis of the monomeric pyranonaphthoquinone ventiloquinone L, it subsequently failed to undergo a proposed biomimetic homodimerisation to cardinalin 3 using a range of oxidants. However, treatment of a related naphthopyran with cerium ammonium nitrate (CAN) facilitated a tandem biaryl bond formation-oxidative demethylation sequence furnishing a dimeric pyranonaphthoquinone that had exclusively dimerised at C6.

An overview of the synthesis of the fungal metabolites (+)-dermolactone, (-)- semixanthomegnin, (+)- and (-)-mellein, (-)-ochratoxin alpha, (-)-(1R,3S)-thysanone, the enantiopure ventiloquinones L, E and G, and 8-desmethyleleutherin from a common chiral intermediate, is presented. Further methodology leading potentially toward extended quinones such as (3S,3'S)-xylindein is also outlined.
