Absolute stereochemistry of 1,2′-linked bi(naphthoquinone)s

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Asymmetric syntheses of the enantiomers of the naturally occurring atropisomerically chiral 1,2′-linked bi(naphthoquinone)s 8′-hydroxyisodiospyrin and isodiospyrin have allowed their absolute configurations to be assigned by X-ray and circular dichroism spectral studies of synthetic intermediates.
