Two synthetic routes towards substituted benzo[ f ]isoindole‐4,9‐diones have been developed. One strategy relies on the synthesis of N ‐trifluoroacetyl‐protected 2‐(1‐aminoalkyl)‐1,4‐naphthoquinones starting from 1,4‐naphthoquinone and N ‐trifluoroacetyl‐α‐amino acids by a Kochi–Anderson oxidative decarboxylation method. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that 2‐(1‐aminoalkyl)‐1,4‐naphthoquinones are suitable precursors for the synthesis of 1‐alkylbenzo[ f ]isoindole‐4,9‐diones by bromomethylation and subsequent N ‐deprotection. Further functionalization by N ‐alkylation and bromination resulted in completely and asymmetrically substituted benzo[ f ]isoindole‐4,9‐diones. The second synthesis is based on a reductive amination of 3‐(bromomethyl)‐1,4‐dimethoxynaphthalene‐2‐carbaldehyde and subsequent oxidation. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
