Diynes bearing one terminal and one triarylmethylsubstituted alkyne were converted into complex benzofluorenone derivatives via a one-pot process involving a gold-catalyzed step followed by a photocyclization/oxidation. In the first step an Noxide was used to position-selectively generate an a-oxo carbenoid at the terminal alkyne which after a regioselective 1,6-carbene transfer along the tethered tritylalkyne and a subsequent aryl 1,2-shift furnished tetraphenylethylene-like derivatives. These intermediates were successfully transformed to fluorenones via oxidative photocyclization.

The present invention provides a class of chemical compounds useful as efficacious drugs in the treatment of sickle cell disease and diseases characterized by unwanted or abnormal cell proliferation, and in particular inflammatory diseases associated with unwanted cellular proliferation. The active compounds are substituted triaryl methane compounds or analogues thereof where one or more of the aryl groups is replaced with a heteroaryl, cycloalkyl or heterocycloalkyl group and/or the tertiary carbon atom is replaced with a different atom such as Si, Ge, N or P, the compounds inhibit mammalian cell proliferation, inhibit the Gardos channel of erythrocytes, reduce sickle erythrocyte dehydration and/or delay the occurrence of erythrocyte sickling or deformation.
