Theoretical and chemical studies of the reactivity of isoprekinamycin, the kinamycins, and the lomaiviticins support the proposal that these natural products exhibit enhanced diazonium salt character and may owe their antitumor antibiotic properties to their ability to act as electrophilic

[figure: see text] Thermal cyclization of 1-[2-(trimethylsilylethynyl)phenyl]-3-arylpropinones was expected to give benzo[b]fluorenones. However, benzo[a]-fluorenones were also formed as a result of a new rearrangement. These tetracycles possess the core structure of the fluostatins and isoprekinamycin.
