The application of oxidative dimerization for the biomimetic synthesis of balsaminone A and ellagic acid is described. Balsaminone A is synthesized via the oxidative dimerization of 1,2,4-trimethoxynaphthalene under anhydrous conditions using CAN, PIDA in BF₃·OEt₂ or PIFA in BF₃·OEt₂ in 7–8% yields over 3 steps. Ellagic acid is synthesized from its biosynthetic precursor gallic acid, in 83% yield over 2 steps.

通过氧化二聚作用仿生合成香脂素A和鞣花酸。

描述了氧化二聚化在香脂素A和鞣花酸的仿生合成中的应用。Balsaminone A是通过在无水条件下使用BF ₃ · OEt _2中的CAN，PIDA或BF ₃ · OEt ₂中的PIFA通过无水条件下的1,2,4-三甲氧基萘的氧化二聚反应合成的，分3步产率为7–8％。鞣花酸是由其生物合成的前体没食子酸合成的，分两步收率为83％。
