A practical and robust photo FriedelâCrafts acylation of naphthoquinones is described. Although the reaction proceeds slowly in sunlight, the optimised conditions offer a substantial improvement to those already reported, by the utilisation of a more reliable and practical âsun-mimickingâ light source, a less hazardous solvent system (trifluorotoluene) and faster reaction times. Using these conditions, the reaction scope has been expanded to include functionalised aldehyde and naphthoquinone substrates, affording the desired photo-products in acceptable to excellent yields (17â81%). Factors influencing the regiochemistry of the photo FriedelâCrafts reaction on unsymmetrical naphthoquinones have also been investigated.

Here, an α-selective Csp3–H bond functionalization of primary aliphatic alcohols with 1,4-naphthoquinones yielded Csp2–Csp2 coupled products driven by blue-LED light under catalyst, metal, base, and reagent-free conditions. In this transformation, cleavage of three C–H bonds (two sp3–C-H, one sp2–C–H, and one O–H) and four new bonds formed, leading to fluorescent 2-acylated-1,4-naphthohydroquinones
在这里,在催化剂、金属、碱和无试剂条件下,脂肪伯醇与 1,4-萘醌的 α-选择性 C sp3 -H 键官能化产生了由蓝色 LED 光驱动的 C sp 2 -C sp 2偶联产物. 在该转化过程中,三个 C-H 键(两个 sp 3 -CH、一个 sp 2 -C-H 和一个 O-H)断裂并形成四个新键,从而产生荧光 2-acylated-1,4-naphthohydroquinones .
2-Propargylamino-naphthoquinone derivatives as multipotent agents for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease
Juglone 1 an plumbagin 2 are plant secondary metabolites nowadays well known for their anticancer properties. In this study we synthesized analogues of 1 and 2 deriving from the functionalization of the OH group in position 5 with different side chains in form of esters and ethers. Therefore the growth inhibitory activities of these adducts were evaluated in vitro on six cancer cell lines using the MTT colorimetric assays along with the two natural parent compounds. The data revealed that these latter displayed the strongest growth inhibitory activities in vitro. Quantitative videomicroscopy analyses were then carried out on human U373 glioblastoma cells, which are characterized by various level of resistance to pro-apoptotic stimuli. We compared the naturally occurring reference compounds 1 and 2 with the derivatives exerting the best activities in terms of IC50 growth inhibitory values. These analyses showed that both juglone and plumbagin had a cytostatic effect on U373 cells and were able to overcome the intrinsic resistance of U373 cancer cells to pro-apoptotic stimuli.
