Abstract

A practical and robust photo Friedel–Crafts acylation of naphthoquinones is described. Although the reaction proceeds slowly in sunlight, the optimised conditions offer a substantial improvement to those already reported, by the utilisation of a more reliable and practical 'sun-mimicking'light source, a less hazardous solvent system (trifluorotoluene) and faster reaction times. Using these conditions, the reaction scope has been expanded to ...
