Novel, easy-to-perform and practical intramolecular Cu(I)-catalyzed cyclizations of substituted 2-iodobenzophenones under thermal and microwave conditions are reported. The isolated cyclized products under microwave conditions are obtained with high yields and with short reaction times offering a valuable and reliable alternative to other protocols for the synthesis of fluorene analogues.

Under appropriate electronic modulation, simple diazofluorene analogs recapitulate the DNA cleavage activity of kinamycin D under thiol-based reducing conditions. Achieving DNA cleavage under these reducing conditions is key to anticancer activity, as the most active compound, 1-methoxydiazofluorene, inhibits the proliferation of HeLa cells.
Annulation strategies for benzo[b]fluorene synthesis: efficient routes to the kinafluorenone and WS-5995 antibiotics.

Intramolecular palladium-mediated arylation approaches to benzo[b]fluorenes have been investigated. The methodology has been applied in a short synthesis of tri-O-methylkinafluorenone, providing an effective alternative to Friedel-Crafts-based approaches. During the course of this work, an acid-promoted quinolactonization of naphthoquinones was also developed, providing direct access to either ortho or para isomers as desired. Application of this methodology in syntheses of the antibiotics WS-5995A, WS-5995C, and functional analogues was demonstrated, and antitumoral activity of this class was determined.
