    Abstract

    The enantiomerically pure and readily available metabolites 10-12 have been converted over four simple steps Into the epoxyquinol derivatives 22-24, respectively. Compounds 23 and 24 or their Immediate precursors have been exploited In efficient total syntheses of (-)-bromoxone (ent-1), (-)-epiepoformin (ent-2), (-)-harveynone (4), (+)-panepophenanthrin (6), and (+)-hexacyclinol (9).
