Two sets of tricyclic 1,2,4-trioxanes containing the ABC (10, 11) and ACD ring portions (21, 22, 32, 33, 37, and 38) of artemisinin (1) were synthesized by successive photo-oxygenation of appropriate enol-ether precursors to 1,2-dioxanes and inter-and intramolecular reaction with a carbonyl compound

β¦ Synopsis
The three dihydronaphtho[l,2,4]trioxines e l l have been synthesized and two of them converted to the five carbamate and ester derivatives 12-16 (Schemes I and 2). The resulting new trioxanes together with two already known and ascaridole (7) were tested for antimalarial activity against the sensitive N strain of Plasmodium berghei in mice. On comparison with artemisinin (1) and dihydroartemisinin (2), modest activity was found. The four most active compounds were some 12-18 times less potent than 1. ') Artemisinin is also known as arteannuin and qinghaosu (QHS).

Two pairs of enantiomerically pure cis-fused cyclopenteno-l,2,4-trioxanes (7, en!-7 and 8, ent-8) are prepared (Schemes 1-3). Their identities are established by dye-sensitized photo-oxygenation of ent-7 and 8 to the allylic hydroperoxides, reduction to the corresponding alcohols, and conversion to
