Quinones Thiele acetoxylation

Finally, Thiele acetoxylation of quinones, by treatment with acetic anhydride and sulfuric acid, is another excellent method of introducing functionality at an alkene carbon atom, for further synthetic elaboration (equation 50)196. This reaction was recently used as a key synthetic step in the total synthesis of metachromin-A, a useful sesquiterpene quinone moiety197.
