A series of 2-Arylamino-3-chloro-1,4-naphthoquinones (3), 2-Amino-3-arylsulfanyl-1,4-naphthoquinones (5), 2-Arylamino-3-arylsulfanyl-1,4-naphthoquinones (6), Dihydrobenzo[f]naphtho[2,3-b][1,4]thiazepine-6,11-diones (9) (via Pictet-Spengler cyclization), Isoindoline-1,3-dione derivatives of 1,4-naphthoquinone (13), 2,2′-(1,4-Dioxo-1,4-dihydronaphthalene-2,3-diyl)bis(methylene)dibenzonitrile (14), 13-Amino-12-substituted-6H-benzo[e]naphtho [2,3-b][1,4]diazepine-6,11(12H)-diones (15-16), 2-Chloro-3-arylsulfanyl-1,4-naphthoquinones (17-18) and 3-Methyl-6H-benzo[b]phenothiazine-6,11(12H)-dione (19) were synthesized and studied for their antifungal and antibacterial activities. The results indicate that compounds 3b, 5a and 5b have potent antifungal activity. Amongst the most promising antifungal compounds, 3b showed better antifungal activity than clinically prevalent antifungal drug Fluconazole (MIC50 = 2.0 μg/mL) against Sporothrix schenckii (MIC50 = 1.56 μg/mL), significant profile against Candida albicans (MIC50 = 1.56 μg/mL), Cryptococcus neoformans (MIC50 = 0.78 μg/mL) and Trichophyton mentagraphytes (MIC50 = 1.56 μg/mL) and same antifungal activity when compared with Amphotericin-B against C. neoformans (MIC50 = 0.78 μg/mL). Compounds 3b, 5a and 5b also showed promising antibacterial activity.
Reaction of hydroxylamines with 1,4-quinones: A new direct synthesis of aminoquinones

A novel one-step amination of 1,4-naphthoquinones and 1,4-benzoquinones is described. O-Benzylhydroxylamine was found to be the best aminating agent while O-methylhydroxylamine, carboxymethoxylamine and free hydroxylamine are less effective.
