Prenylation of methoxyhydroquinone in aqueous acid solution and an alternative synthesis of precocene II

article
The acid‐catalyzed condensation of methoxyhydroquinone with 2‐methyl‐3‐buten‐2‐ol leads to 2‐methoxy‐5‐(3‐methyl‐2‐butenyl)hydroquinone (4) and 2‐(1,1‐dimethylallyl)‐5‐methoxy‐hydroquinone (7). Compound 4 can easily be converted into precocene II (1, R  Me)
