An efficient method for the synthesis of 3-hydroxyquinoline N-oxides was established and is amenable to the total syntheses of aurachins A and B. Alkylation of 1-(2-nitrophenyl)butan-2-one with farnesyl bromide took place selectively at the benzylic position, and subsequent treatment of the alkylated product with sodium tert-butoxide in dimethyl sulfoxide gave aurachin B. Alkylation of 1-(2-nitrophenyl)butan-2-one with an epoxy iodide derived from farnesol was used to access aurachin A.}, pages = {6980--6983}, title = {Total Syntheses of Aurachins A and B}, volume = {56}, year = {2017} }
