Herein, we show that redox tag-guided intermolecular formal [2 + 2] cycloaddition can be used as a probe to investigate intramolecular single-electron transfer (SET) mechanisms. The efficacy of intramolecular SET can be evaluated in association with concomitant carbon-carbon bond formation and/or cleavage, leading to cycloaddition or cross-metathesis. Experimental and theoretical results suggest that the intramolecular SET is under both thermodynamic and kinetic control and can also occur through bonds, not only through space.

A platform of synthetic methodologies has been established to access a focused library of polysubstituted 3-benzylmenadione derivatives functionalized on the aromatic ring of the naphthoquinone core. Two main routes were explored: 1) The naphthol route, starting from either an α-tetralone or a propiophenone, and 2) the regioselective Diels-Alder reaction, starting from various dienes and two 2-bromo-5(or 6)-methyl-1,4-benzoquinones. 6-Substituted 2-methylnaphthols were synthesized by using a xanthate-mediated free-radical addition/cyclization sequence for the construction of the 6-substituted menadione subunit. Furthermore, an efficient and simple new pathway that allows the formation of 6- or 7-substituted 3-(substituted-benzyl)menadione regioisomers from a common commercial scaffold has also been developed by the naphthol route, advantageous with regard to step economy. Our synthetic methodologies exemplified by 34 compounds have allowed structure-activity relationships to be deduced for use as the basis for the development of new antimalarial redox-active polysubstituted benzylmenadione derivatives.
