Abstract

Direct Heck–Matsuda arylation of lapachol provides rapid access to structurally diverse naphthoquinones under homogeneous and heterogeneous palladium catalysis. The methodology features broad substrate scope, gram-scale applicability, and unambiguous structural assignment by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, providing an efficient platform for the diversification of quinones.
