Introductiono-Quinone methides (o-QMs) 1 are highly reactive and ephemeral
intermediates extensive harnessed by nature. A variety of plants, animals
and insects capitalize upon them as a means of defense. Their
significance in organic synthesis emanates from their versatile reactivity
towards electrophiles, nucleophiles or (hetero) Diels – Alder cycloadditions
[1]. The driving force inherent in these transformations and the propensity
of 1 to “revert to type” (i.e. restore its aromaticity).

Either acting as a highly polarized species or as heterodiene, 1 has been
the prototype for the construction of diverse heterocyclic frameworks of
varying complexity.
In biology, on the other hand, the significance of 1 rests upon its mode of
action being the reactive site of various structures on cellular
macromolecules such us DNA or proteins. Alkylation or cross – linking are
among the major biochemical processes taking place [3-7]. It has been
observed at very low temperatures [8] or when highly hindered [9] and has
been isolated only when metal stabilized [9,10]. Under ordinary conditions,
the intermediacy of 1 is inferred by trapping reactions. A plethora of
methods have been developed for its generation, mainly as a precursor to
various heterocycles, natural products among them. The activity in the
field has been reflected on a number of reviews, which have subsequently
appeared, as early as mid 60’s right through to the present days [1]. There
has been a resurgence of interest in the chemistry and biology of 1,
recently. This has focused primarily on its photogeneration, metal
complexation and its effect on biomacromolecules.
o-QMs of types 5 and 8, prepared by coupling of an appropriately
substituted naphthol 3, are useful intermediates for alkylation / X-linking of
simple amino acids right through to cellular macromolecules such as DNA,
proteins and peptides. This reaction is already known to be responsible for
a broad spectrum of activity of these molecules.
