Abstract

In this thesis, the chemical reactivity of hydroxyquinones and their iodonium ylides was examined, aiming at the synthesis of new organic compounds which may exhibit biological or pharmaceutical activity. In the introductory section, significant preparation methods as well as chemical reactivity and pharmaceutical activity were reported concerning hydroxyquinones, asterriquinones, furanonaphthoquinones, carbazoloquinones, pyranonaphthoquinones and iodonium ylides of hydroxyquinones. Thermal decomposition of iodonium ylides of hydroxyquinones into ketenes is related to the present thesis. Thus, examples of preparation methods, reactivity and dimerization reactions of α-oxo- and α,α΄-dioxoketenes were given in the second introductory part....
