	This paper describes a simple and practical protocol for the direct synthesis of acyclic and cyclic quinone derivatives via an acid-promoted nickel(ii)-catalyzed inner rim C-H oxidation of cyclotriveratrylene (CTV) and its analogues. The cyclic quinone derivatives resulted from trimethoxy-cyclotriveratrylene (TCTV) through C-C bond formation via intramolecular ipso substitution followed by subsequent anionic rearrangement containing stereo-vicinal quaternary centers. The DFT calculations strongly support the experimental findings and reveal the role of Bronsted acids in the C-H bond activation of CTV. All the newly synthesized compounds were screened for their in vitro anti-cancer activity using colorimetric SRB assay analysis. Among them, compounds 3a, 3d, 3h, 4a, 4b, 4c and 4e exhibited moderate anticancer activity against A549, HCT-116, PC-3, MDA-MB-231, HEK-293 and SW620 human cancer cell lines.</p>
