The synthesis of 3-methoxy-benzanthrones was achieved in two steps by Suzuki–Miyaura coupling and BBr3-promoted Friedel–Crafts acylation under mild conditions with an overall yield of 17–74% and tolerance toward various substrates using commercially available reagents. The competitive mechanism between demethylation and Friedel–Crafts acylation was first rationalized via a deuterium-labelling experiment and DFT calculations. Basic photochemical characteristics of 3-methoxy-benzanthrones and 3-hydroxy benzanthrones were investigated, and the benzanthrones were found to possess excellent photochemical properties. Additionally, using this novel strategy, alkaloid oxoglaucine with a similar tetracyclic skeleton was successfully synthesized with a 70% overall yield via two steps.

New Journal of Chemistry

NJC (New Journal of Chemistry) is a broad-based primary journal encompassing all branches of chemistry and its sub-disciplines. It contains full research articles, communications, perspectives and focus articles. This well-established journal, owned by the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) of France, has been co-published with the Royal Society of Chemistry since January 1998. NJC is the forum for the publication of high-quality, original and significant work that opens new directions in chemistry or other scientific disciplines. In addition to having a significant chemical component, work published in NJC must demonstrate that it will have an impact on areas of research other than that of the reported work.
