Bu(3)SnH/1,1'-azobis(cyclohexanecarbonitrile) (ACN)-mediated five, six, and seven-membered double alkyl radical cyclizations onto imidazo[5,4-f]benzimidazole and imidazo[4,5-f]benzimidazole are described. The quinone derivatives evaluated show selective toxicity towards human cervical (HeLa) and prostate (DU145) cancer cell lines (with negligible toxicity towards a normal human cell line, GM00637). Only the Fremy oxidation of the 6-aminoimidazo[5,4-f]benzimidazole gave iminoquinone, which showed high specificity towards the prostate cancer cell line (DU145).
