29. The proposed structure of 22 is the keto-enol tautomer of the mold perylenequinones seen in Figure 2, with the exception of hypomycin B, 15. The perylenequinones actually exist as a mixture of the two tautomers, though the predominance of each tautomeric form is different for each natural product: Arnone, A.; Merlini, L.; Mondelli, R.; Nasini, G.; Ragg, E.; Scaglioni, L.; Weiss, U.

37. In prior work, Zhang (ref 12) and Lown (ref 13) have shown similar transformations in the racemic syntheses of perylenequinones. Hauser (ref 15) also utilized dimerization of an o-quinone but found the pathway from the bis-o-quinone to the perylenequinone to be unproductive.

63. Improvements to the hydroxylation reaction were later developed, mitigating the loss of yield and enantioenrichment. As seen in the subsequent papers in this series on more complex intermediates, no erosion of enantioenrichment was observed when NaOAc was used to quench the reagents after oxidation. The NaOAc was added prior to solvent evaporation and subsequent NaOH treatment removes excess oxidant and TFA that can cause degradation.

65. Merlic, in ref 17, synthesized perylenequinone 39 as the racemate via the dimerization of an o-quinone, but no logical entry to the enantioenriched variant is available with such a route.
66. Following this work, the synthesis of 39 evolved further, culminating in a 16-step protocol with 4.2% overall yield of 98% ee material. The evolution is described briefly in ref 19 and in detail in the third paper in this series. Morgan, B. J.; Mulrooney, C.; Kozlowski, M. C. J. Org. Chem. 2010, 75 (DOI 10.1021/jo9013854).
