Two polymorphs of 4-(phenylthio)naphthalene-1,2-dione have been shown to possess distinguishable C-H...O hydrogen bond interactions; on the other hand two polymorphs of 2,3-(bis-4-methylphenylsulfanyl)naphthalene-1,4-dione have different orientations of m

Ortho-Quinones represent a special class of redox active compounds associated with a spectrum of pronounced biological activities, including selective cytotoxicity and antimicrobial actions. The modification of the quinone ring by simple nitrogen and sulphur substitutions leads to several new classes of compounds with their own, distinct redox behaviour and equally distinct activities against cancer cell lines and Trypanosoma cruzi. Some of the compounds investigated show activity against T. cruzi at concentrations of 24.3 and 65.6 μM with a selectivity index of around 1. These results demonstrate that simple chemical modifications on the ortho-quinone ring system, in particular, by heteroatoms such as nitrogen and sulphur, transform these simple redox molecules into powerful cytotoxic agents with considerable "potential", not only in synthesis and electrochemistry, but also, in a broader sense, in health sciences.

O-Iodoxybenzoic Acid-Initiated One-Pot Synthesis of 4-Arylthio-1,2-naphthoquinones, 4-Arylthio-1,2-diacetoxynaphthalenes, and 5-Arylthio-/5-Aminobenzo[a]phenazines

1,2-Naphthoquiones and their derivatives constitute an important category of compounds of relevance in pharmaceutical and material chemistry. It is shown that 1,2-naphthoquinones generated by o-iodoxybenzoic acid-mediated oxidation of 2-naphthols can be subjected to a cascade of reactions, namely oxidation, Michael addition, reduction, acetylation, and cyclocondensation, in the same pot to afford diverse 4-arylthio-1,2-naphthoquinones 2, 4-arylthio-1,2-diacetoxynaphthalenes 3, and 5-arylthio-/5-aminobenzo[a]phenazines 4 in very good isolated yields. The multistep single-pot synthesis occurs smoothly in DMF at rt.
