Research Abstract |
Oxidation is one of the most fundamental organic reactions. Since the surface of the earth is covered with air including oxygen and keeps oxidative environment, many natural products occur via oxidation as the key biosynthetic reaction. In this project, it is found that oxidation of aromatic compounds such as 4-methoxynaphthols and 4-methoxynaphthylamines using molecular oxygen causes oxidative dimerization followed by cyclization to afford polycyclic compounds, dibenzofuranquinones and dibenzocarbazoles, respectively.
