✦ Synopsis


a b s t r a c t 3,4-Dihydroxy-5-alkynylcarboxylic acids, readily obtained by the addition of lithium acetylides to a-acetoxysuccinic anhydride followed by reduction and hydrolysis, undergo smooth silver(I)-catalysed 5-endodig cyclisations and in situ dehydration to give excellent overall yields of 5-substituted-2-furylacetic acids, including the natural metabolite plakorsin B.

We describe a new total synthesis of 2-styrylbenzoic acids by Heck coupling of methyl o-iodobenzoates to styrenes. Additionally, in the first general synthesis of naphtho[2,1-f ]isoquinolines, these acids were transformed into phenanthrenoic acids and thence into the target compounds by a six-step s
