A short and asymmetric entry to the core structure of the cordiachromes has been developed, allowing access to (-)-isoglaziovianol in seven steps. Our synthesis includes a Trost asymmetric allylic alkylation and a reaction cascade triggered by a vinyl quinone Diels-Alder reaction and followed by intramolecular nucleophilic interception.

(-)-Pleurotin () and (+)-dihydropleurotinic acid () are benzoquinone meroterpenoids isolated from fungal sources with powerful antitumor and antibiotic activities. Concise asymmetric total syntheses of the stereochemically pure (+)-dihydropleurotinic acid () and (-)-pleurotin () from the chiral pool ()-Roche ester-derived vinyl bromide have been achieved in 12 and 13 longest linear steps, respectively. The key transformations feature a Michael addition/alkylation cascade reaction to forge three contiguous stereocenters matched with the natural products, a PtO-catalyzed stereoselective reduction of olefin to generate the correct stereocenter at C3, a palladium-catalyzed Negishi cross-coupling between triflate and zinc reagent to introduce the redox-sensitive para-quinone moiety, and a hydroboration/copper-catalyzed carboxylation sequence to incorporate the vital carboxyl group.

Quinones with a rapid reduction-oxidation rate are promising high-capacity cathodes for lithium-ion batteries. However, the high solubility of quinone molecules in polar organic electrolytes results in low cycle stability, while their low electric conductivity causes low utilization of electrode materials. In this article, a new -benzoquinone derivative, poly(vinyl benzoquinone) (PVBQ), is designed and synthesized, and a solution-based method of preparing free-standing PVBQ/reduced graphene oxide (RGO) composite films is developed.

This study explores the use of activity-based protein profiling to study protein tyrosine phosphatases. With the discovery of allosteric SHP2 inhibitors, this enzyme family has resurfaced as interesting drug targets. Therefore, we envisioned that previously described direct electrophiles and quinone methide-based traps targeting phosphatases could be applied in competitive activity-based protein profiling assays.
