Five mononitro-, three dinitro- and one trinitrobenzanthrones have been synthesized by the modified Ullmann cross-coupling reaction between nitro-substituted 1-iodonaphthalene and methyl 2-iodo-benzoates, followed by the Friedel-Crafts ring closure of the resulting 2-(1-naphthyl)benzoic acid derivatives.
