Oxidative arylation of naphthoquinones has been developed through combination of o-iodoxybenzoic acid with arylhydrazines under mild conditions at open atmosphere. Arylated naphthoquinones with different electronic properties were obtained in moderate to good yields. The postulated radical mediated mechanism is supported by radical trapping experiments. Developed protocol for direct arylation of naphthoquinones has been extended toward short, high yielding, and an effective synthesis of antitumor-antibiotic precursor such as benzocarbazoledione.
