Notes:
Two gossypol analogues 2a and 2b were synthesized for biological evaluation as male contraceptive agents. The naphthol 8c was prepared by analogy with a known procedure starling from 3-isopropylcatechol (3). (t-Bu)2O2-Mediated phenolic coupling of 8c furnished the binaphthol 9c which, after pyrane ring closure, deprotection. and selective bisformylation with SnCl4/Cl2CHOCH3, gave the target compound 2a. The corresponding tetrahydroxy analogue 2b was prepared in a similar way.
