Popis: Two approaches to the total synthesis of 2-amino-3,6,7-trihydroxynaphthazarin, a metabolite of the sea urchins Strongylocentrotus nudus and Psammechinus miliaris are described. The first was based on the conversion of 2,3-dichloro-6,7-dimethoxynaphthazarin into the corresponding 3-hydroxy-2-nitro derivative and subsequent reduction to give 2-amino-3-hydroxy-6,7-dimethoxynaphthazarin. The basis for the second method was the conversion of echinochrome into brominated spinochrome D and the introduction of an amino group via direct substitution of the bromine atom by an azido group.
