Stereodefined and biologically relevant CF3-containing hydroxypyranonaphthoquinone carboxylates were prepared for the first time by a one-pot four-component condensation between 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone, an aldehyde, ethyl 4,4,4-trifluoroacetoacetate and ammonium acetate. This transformation is presumed to proceed via aldol condensation/Mannich reaction followed by Michael addition and regio- and stereoselective 6-exo-trig cyclization, deamination and addition of water.
Keywords. Hydroxypyranonaphthoquinone, ammonium acetate.
