TI - The synthesis of kermesic acid by acetylation-aided tautomerism of 6-chloro-2,5,8-trihydroxynaphtho-1,4-quinone N2 - Methodology has been sought towards obtaining a 2-chloro-1,4-naphthoquinone bearing hydroxyl groups in the adjoining ring for obtaining either kermesic or carminic acids. In the first of these objectives, kermesic acid has been synthesised from 6-chloro-2,5,8-trihydroxynaphtho-1,4-quinone by the regioselective cycloaddition of the 1,2-diacetate formed by its acetylation-aided tautomerism and cycloaddition with (E)- and (Z)-3-alkoxycarbonyl-2,4-bis(trimethylsilyloxy)penta-1,3-dienes. The parent unacetylated quinone resists cycloaddition UR - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uWo_OT7fQBZvsqa3RhAe-BMudOK3bXVe/view?usp=drivesdk ER -
