1-Chloro-5-methylnaphtho[2,3-g]isoquinoline-6,11-quinones were obtained through two independent pathways: (i) by Diels-Alder reaction of 1-chloro-5-methylbenzo[g]isoquinoline-6,9-quinone with 1,4-diacetoxybutadiene; (ii) by condensation of 2-formyl-1,4-dimethoxynaphthalenes with 4-acetyl-2-chloro-3-...
