Tropolones are seven membered aromatic rings which may be functionalized. Prior known tropolones include the natural product β-thujaplicin (aka Hinokitiol) and the synthetic β-phenyl tropolone. We have developed methodologies for synthesis of α-substituted tropolones such as the naphthyl and benzodioxinyl tropolones included in this study.
