Abstract

The intact aromatic chromophore of rifamycin S, 7-amino-2,5-dihydroxy-2,4-dimethyl-naphtho[2,l-6]furan-l,6,9(2H)-trione, was synthesized through the rifamycin W aromatic segment, l-[5,8-dimethoxy-2,4-bis-(methoxymethoxy)-3-methyl-6-nitro-l-naphthyl]-l-propanone which was prepared in 9 steps and 29.6% overall yield from 2,6-bis(benzyloxy)-3,5-dibromotoluene and furan.
