General description

Potassium nitrosodisulfonate is an oxidizing reagent that can be used to convert phenols, naphthols, and anilines to quinones, benzylic alcohols to aldehydes or ketones, and amino acids to α-keto acids. It can also be used for the preparation of heterocyclic quinones and oxidative aromatization[1].

Application

Potassium nitrosodisulfonate can be used as an oxidizing reagent for the oxidation of:
  • Aromatic amines to their corresponding quinones[2].
  • Hydroethidine to 2-hydroxyethidium[3].
  • Tyrosine to o-quinones[4].

Described herein are structure-activity studies of new antitumor agents based on the pyrrolo[1,2-a]benzimidazole (PBI) ring system. These compounds were designed as new DNA cross-linkers mimicking the mitomycin antitumor agents. Actually, the PBI derivatives were found to have anthracycline-like features: (i)
