Abstract

TsOH-Catalyzed reactions of 6,7-disubstituted 2-hydroxynaphthazarins and acyclic or cyclic α,β-enones afforded the corresponding Michael-type adducts, viz., 3-substituted naphthazarins in 17–78% yields. 1H and 13C NMR and IR spectroscopy showed that the adducts with cyclohexenone and methyl vinyl ketone exist in CDCl3 solutions as mixtures of open-chain and cyclic tautomers, whereas the adducts with cyclopentenones exist only as the open-chain forms.
