Procedure
Phenol (28 mg, 0.3 mmol) was treated with tetrabutylammonium hydroxide (0.3 mL of 1.0 M solution in methanol) and the reaction mixture was concentrated to dryness in vacuo. Iodonaphtoquinone 5 (115 mg, 0.3 mmol) in DMF (3 mL) was added to the tetrabutylammonium salt, stirred for 48 h and quenched with H2O (10 mL). The product was extracted with CHCl3, the extract was washed with H2O, then brine, dried (Na2SO4), and purified by chromatography (5% EtOAc in benzene) to give 12 as a yellow solid (45 mg, 43%) 1H NMR (CDCl3) 8.13 (d, J=7.4 Hz, 1H), 7.86 (d, J=7.4 Hz, 1H), 7.67 (t, J=7.6 Hz, 1H), 7.61 (t, J=7.5 Hz, 1H),7.15-7.40 (m, 2H), 6.85-7.10 (m, 3H), 5.96 (s, 1H), 4.17 (t, J=6.5 Hz, 2H), 3.99 (t, J=6.2 Hz), 1.70-2.10 (m, 4H), 1.35-1.70 (m, 4H).
