Access to New Cytotoxic Quinone-Amino Acid Conjugates Linked through A Vinylic Spacer from 2-Acylnaphthoquinones and Methyl 3-Aminocrotonate

The reaction of 2-acetyl- and 2-benzoyl-1,4-naphthoquinone with (Z)-methyl 3-(hydroxymethyl)aminocrotonate proceeds through a formal [3+3] process to yield the corresponding 1,2-dihydrobenzisoquinolinequinones in 63% and 72% yield, respectively. The reactions of 2-acyl-1,4-naphthoquinone with enamin...
