Previously unreported 2-aryl-1-naphthylamines were obtained in good yields from 2-aryl-1-tetraloneoximes by using the Semmler-Wolf reaction but omitting the acetic anhydride usually present in the reaction mixture. From these amines, through the thermal cyclization of their corresponding ethyl carbamates, a new access to the benzo[c]phenanthridin-6(5H)-ones was found. Preparation of water-soluble Nitidine and O-Methyl Fagaronine analogues bearing an alkylamino side chain on the C-6 position was achieved from these compounds.

Generally applicable intramolecular cyclisation of 2,4-diarylbutyric acids having isopropoxy (4) or benzyloxy (12) groups used to protect phenolic functions was required for the purpose of synthesis of phenolic benzophenantridine alkaloids.Treatment of the butyric acids (4b), (4d), (4f), and (12) with POCl3 in acetonitrile in the presence of potassium carbonate furnished the corresponding tetralones (5b), (5d), (5f), and (13) in excellent yield, respectively, without the cleavage of its isopropoxy or benzyloxy groups.A plausible mechanism for basic intramolecular acylation using POCl3 is proposed.
