Abstract
In this paper, the modification of two synthetic steps to obtain EMICORON, with respect to the usual protocol, is reported. EMICORON is a benzo[ghi]perylen-diimmide which was synthesized the first time in our laboratory in 2012 and showed to have in-vivo antitumor activities interfering with tumor growth and development by a multi-target mechanism of action. The provided modifications regarded the reaction times and the reaction conditions as well as the work-up procedures and allowed to increase the global yield of the process from 28% to about 40%. Thus, this new procedure may be more suitable in order to get larger amounts of EMICORON for further preclinical studies.
