Application

1,2,4-Triacetoxybenzene can be used as a starting material:
  • To prepare aminated hydroxynaphthazarins, echinamines A and B.
  • To synthesize 6,7-dihydroxychromenones, which are further used to prepare various crown ethers.
  • In the total synthesis of natural product santalin Y.

The first total synthesis of two marine aminated hydroxynaphthazarins, echinamines A (3-amino-7-ethyl-2,5,6,8-tetrahydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone) and B (2-amino-7-ethyl-3,5,6,8-tetrahydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone), produced by the sea urchin Scaphechinus mirabilis is described. This was achieved from 1,2,4-triacetoxybenzene (13) through a sequence involving double Fries rearrangement of 13, reduction
