Photo-Friedel-Crafts acylation of a naphthoquinone was attempted in an effort to access a diazobenzofluorenone en route to the epoxykinamycin natural product FL-120B′. Photoirradiation of the naphthoquinone substrate which resulted in the unexpected formation of a tetracyclic naphthofuran via a decarbonylative photocyclization process is described.
