Access to Orthogonal Protected Phenols – Synthesis of a Silylated Quinol

  • Shahzad A. Siddiqi and Thilo J. Heckrodt EMAIL logo

Herein we describe the synthesis of t-butyldimethylsilyl protected quinol (9), using an oxidation/ reduction sequence to create the desired orthogonality. The title compound acts as a synthetic equivalent for a quinone, required in the total synthesis of Elisabethin A. It contains a masked quinone and therefore is a suitable precursor for the quinone moiety of this diterpenoid.
