The Friedel−Crafts Allylation of a Prenyl Group Stabilized by a Sulfone Moiety:  Expeditious Syntheses of Ubiquinones and Menaquinones

An efficient synthetic method for the protected p-hydroquinone compounds 4 containing the C5 trans allylic sulfone moiety has been developed by the direct Friedel−Crafts allylation of the protected dihydroquinone 2 with 4-chloro-2-methyl-1-phenylsulfonyl-2-butene (7a) or 4-hydroxy-2-methyl-1-phenyls...

Zusammenfassung:An efficient synthetic method for the protected p-hydroquinone compounds 4 containing the C5 trans allylic sulfone moiety has been developed by the direct Friedel−Crafts allylation of the protected dihydroquinone 2 with 4-chloro-2-methyl-1-phenylsulfonyl-2-butene (7a) or 4-hydroxy-2-methyl-1-phenylsulfonyl-2-butene (7b). Expeditious total syntheses of coenzyme Q-10 and vitamin K2(20) have been demonstrated from these valuable key compounds 4a and 4b.
