The preparation of novel organic disulfides containing the 2‐(substituted phenyl)quinolin‐4(1 H )‐one ring is described. The synthesis starts from thioanthranilic acid esterified with various bromoacetophenones. Cyclization of the resulting phenacyl thioanthranilates in trifluoroacetic acid afforded a mixture of 2‐(substituted phenyl)‐3‐sulfanylquinolin‐4(1 H )‐ones and 3,3′‐disulfanediylbis[2‐(substituted phenyl)quinolin‐4(1 H )‐ones]. Heating of the mixture in o ‐xylene gave 3,3′‐disulfanediylbis[2‐(substituted phenyl)quinolin‐4(1 H )‐ones]of high purity. The disulfides exhibited a significant in vitro cytotoxicity against various cancer cell lines including polyresistant subclones. The data obtained are reported and discussed.(© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2009)
