In the future, solar energy, along with other renewable resources, could play a key role in
mass production of fine chemicals. It could also potentially solve environmental problems, as …

This review covers the visible light induced reactions of quinones such as benzoquinone,
naphthoquinone, and anthraquinone. These quinones are distinguished by their fully …

A mild and eco-friendly visible-light-induced protocol for the hydroacylation of quinones with
α-keto acids has been developed. In the absence of any catalyst or additive, the …

A practical and robust photo Friedel–Crafts acylation of naphthoquinones is described.
Although the reaction proceeds slowly in sunlight, the optimised conditions offer a …

A series of 2-phenylamino-3-acyl-1, 4-naphtoquinones were evaluated regarding their in
vitro antiproliferative activities using DU-145, MCF-7 and T24 cancer cells. Such activities …

In our search for potential anticancer agents, a series of 8-and 9-phenylamino-3, 4-
tetrahydro-phenanthridine-1, 7, 10 (2 H)-triones with substituent variations at 6-, 8-and 9 …

A series of highly diversified 3‐aroylmenadiones was prepared by a new Friedel–Crafts
acylation variant/oxidative demethylation strategy. A mild and versatile acylation was …

An inexpensive photoreactor using LED light sources and a fibre-optic CCD
spectrophotometer as a detector was built by designing a special cell holder for standard …

The high rates of morbidity and mortality due to fungal infections are associated with a
limited antifungal arsenal and the high toxicity of drugs. Therefore, the identification of novel …

A broad variety of oxygen-substituted diaryl ketones has been synthesized by solar energy-
induced Friedel Crafts acylations of 1, 4-benzo-and 1, 4-naphthoquinones with …
