O-Demethyl-DX-52-1 (3a) was prepared from quinocarcin (1) in two steps (cyanation and O-demethylation). Upon treatment with Fremy's salt, 3a and its esters 3b, 3c afforded the desired quinone4-6 in good yields. Various substituted quinones 12-37,47-50 were prepared from 4-6 by Thiele acetylation followed by hydrolysis of acetates and halogenation, by direct addition of amine, alcohol and mercaptan, and by epoxidation and subsequent opening of the epoxide ring with aniline. The quinonemonoketals 39b and 40 were obtained from the corresponding methoxyphenols 7b and 38b. Addition of hydroxylamine gave the quinoneoxime 44 regiospecifically. The antitumor activity of the bis-methylthioquinone (37) among the various derivatives was the most promising.
