Abstract Double ruthenium(II)‐catalyzed alkyne annulations of quinones were accomplished. Thus, a strategy is reported that provides step‐economical access to valuable with wide range applications. C−H/N−H activations for naphthoquinones provided challenging polycyclic quinoidal compounds by forming four new bonds in one step. The singular power the thus‐obtained was reflected their antileukemic activity.

We report the synthesis of 47 new quinone-based derivatives via click chemistry and their subsequent evaluation against cancer cell lines control L929 murine fibroblast line. These compounds combine two redox centers, such as an ortho-quinone/para-quinone or quinones/selenium with 1,2,3-triazole nucleus. Several these present IC50 values below 0.5 μM in significantly lower cytotoxicity line good selectivity index. Hence, our study confirms use a complete very diverse range quinone potential...

Abstract Undivided electrochemical cells enable economical preparation of sulphur‐containing naphthoquinones through sulphenylation quinoidal compounds. The environmentally friendly and efficient protocol eliminates the use chemical oxidants facilitates synthesis desired molecules. This approach offers an versatile method to synthesize quinones that exhibit cytotoxicity against cancer cell lines.

In 2021, our research group published the prominent anticancer activity achieved through successful combination of two redox centres (ortho-quinone/para-quinone or quinone/selenium-containing triazole) a copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction. The naphthoquinoidal substrates towards synergetic product was indicated, but not fully explored. Herein, we report synthesis 15 new quinone-based derivatives prepared from click chemistry reactions and their subsequent evaluation...
