Significance
The synthesis of the naturally occurring benzocanthinone (1) and its analogues using a radical-induced oxidative cyclization for D ring formation is described. The facile construction of the precursor N-benzoyl (and pyridoyl) β-carbolines by Bischler-Napieralski reaction allows the preparation of several benzacanthinone analogues. The best results were obtained with halogen substituents (Br > Cl, I) in the pyridinyl ring (path a). In case of path b, a mixture of regioisomers resulting from cyclization into both rings A (14% yield) and C was obtained.
