Abstract
The total synthesis of a number of carbazolo-1,4-quinone natural products using on-water chemistry is described. A recently developed domino 'in-water, on-water' process is employed to rapidly and efficiently generate königinequinone A, which subsequently enables access to murrayaquinones B, C, D and E, and pyrayaquinones B and C, via a remarkably facile on-water catalysed Claisen rearrangement.
