Synthesis of Acylated Naphthohydroquinones Through Photo-Friedel–Crafts Acylation and Evaluation of Their Antibiotic Potential

A variety of 1-(1,4-dihydroxynaphtalen-2-yl) ketones was synthesized using the photo-Friedel–Crafts acylation of 1,4-naphthoquinone with aldehydes. Subsequent oxidation using silver oxide readily furnished the corresponding 2-acylated 1,4 naphthoquinones. Notably, these naphthoquinone derivatives un...
