Organocatalysts are abundantly used for various transformations, particularly to obtain
highly enantio-and diastereomeric pure products by controlling the stereochemistry. These …

Abstract Lawsone (2-hydroxy-1, 4-naphthoquinone) is a red-orange dye present in the
leaves of the henna plant (Lawsonia inermis), one of the most important synthon for many …

Against the backdrop of the established biological properties of 2-hydroxynaphthoquinone
(lawsone) and related compounds, the rational design of chiral β-butyl lawsone derivatives …

Two synthetic approaches to peshawaraquinone, an uncommon and complex
naphthoquinone meroterpenoid, are described. Key to the success of these synthetic …

3-Aryllawsones are well known for their wide range of applications in medicinal chemistry,
but their synthesis has always remained challenging as no comprehensive protocol has …

In this study, we unveil a highly enantioselective [3+ 2] annulation protocol, adept at merging
N-2, 2, 2-trifluoroethylisatin ketimines with 3-alkylidene benzofuranones under quinine …

A concise synthesis of a stereochemically complex meroterpenoid, peshawaraquinone, via
the unsymmetrical dimerization of its achiral precursor, dehydro-α-lapachone, is reported …

Abstract Benzobicyclo [3.2. 1] octane is a cage‐like unique motif containing a bicyclo [3.2. 1]
octane structure fused with at least one benzene ring. It is found in various natural products …

A metal-and hypervalent iodine reagent-free electrochemical oxidative dearomatization-
induced [5+ 2] cycloaddition/pinacol rearrangement cascade reaction was described. The …

Structurally complex cedrane scaffolds were synthesized in very good yields with high
chemo‐and diastereoselectivities in a sequential one‐pot manner. A combination of …
