The 1H-naphtho[2,3-c]pyran-1-one (naphthopyranone) moiety forms the structural framework of a group of secondary metabolites that have been isolated from a range of organisms including fungi, bacteria, lichen and plants. This review documents the known naturally occurring naphthopyranones - their isolation, biosynthesis and biological activity. A survey of methods reported for the synthesis of naphthopyranone natural products is presented.

Regioselective synthesis of naphthoquinone/naphthoquinol-carbohydrate hybrids by [4 + 2] anionic annulations and studies on their cytotoxicity.
TLDR
The in vitro cytotoxic activity of the synthetic naphthoquinone/naphthonol-carbohydrate hybrids were evaluated against the human cervical cancer cell line (HeLa), and a few of them were found to exhibit potent anticancer activity against the cell line.
Total Synthesis of Aurofusarin: Studies on the Atropisomeric Stability of Bis-Naphthoquinones.
An efficient annulation involving pyrone addition to a quinone and Dieckmann condensation was developed for rapid assembly of a γ-naphthopyrone monomeric precursor to the bis-naphthoquinone natural…
Synthesis of Vitamin K and Related Naphthoquinones via Demethoxycarbonylative Annulations and a Retro-Wittig Rearrangement.
Anionic annulations of 3-nucleofugal phthalides with α-alkyl(aryl)acrylates involving a demethoxycarbonylation provide a succinct synthesis of vitamin K and related naphthoquinones. Also reported is…
Rapid Access to Orthogonally Functionalized Naphthalenes: Application to the Total Synthesis of the Anticancer Agent Chartarin.
TLDR
The developed method proceeds through a two-step process that features a thermally induced fragmentation of a cyclopropane indanone with simultaneous 1,2-chloride shift to enable the total synthesis of the potent anticancer natural product chartarin through a highly convergent retrosynthetic bond disconnection.
Catalytic asymmetric reactions and synthesis of quinones.
Asymmetric reactions and the synthesis of various quinones, carried out in the presence of chiral organocatalysts and metal-ligand complexes, are reviewed here. The role of quinones as Michael…
Coumarin heterocyclic derivatives: chemical synthesis and biological activity.
TLDR
This review highlights the broad range of science that has arisen from the synthesis of coumarin-linked and fused heterocycle derivatives and their synthesis and biological activity.
One-Pot Construction of Functionalized Spiro-dihydronaphthoquinone-oxindoles via Hauser-Kraus Annulation of Sulfonylphthalide with 3-Alkylideneoxindoles.
TLDR
This strategy, which involves a cascade Michael addition-Dieckmann cyclization-elimination sequence, offers rapid and convenient access to novel spiro-dihydronaphthoquinone-oxindoles in excellent yields with complete selectivity for the enolic form under mild reaction conditions.
New Naphtho-γ-Pyrones Isolated from Marine-Derived Fungus Penicillium sp. HK1-22 and Their Antimicrobial Activities
Three novel monomeric naphtho-γ-pyrones, peninaphones A–C (compounds 1–3), along with two known bis-naphtho-γ-pyrones (compounds 4 and 5) were isolated from mangrove rhizosphere soil-derived fungus…
Catalytic, Cascade Ring-Opening Benzannulations of 2,3-Dihydrofuran O,O- and N,O-Acetals.
TLDR
This method represents the first example of dihydrofuran acetal usage in benzannulation reactions and provides excellent regiocontrol based on the choice of alkenes used to form the requisite dihydraulic acetals.
