The NHC-catalyzed conjugate hydroacylation of 1,4-naphthoquinones allows for the synthesis of monoacylated 1,4-dihydroxynaphthalene derivatives. These targets, difficult to prepare selectively by standard protocols, represent important intermediates in the elaboration of highly substituted 1,4-naphthoquinone derivatives, which constitute relevant pharmaceutical scaffolds. High
At neutral pH, 1,4-naphthohydroquinone and 2-methyl-1,4-naphthohydroquinone readily autoxidize to the corresponding quinones. In an unpurified phosphate buffer, the autoxidation of both substances proceeded in a linear fashion after a brief lag phase. Addition of a chelating agent or purification of

Naphthalene (NA) is metabolically activated to the reactive intermediates, naphthalene oxide (NO) and naphthoquinones. To investigate the role of circulating reactive metabolites in NA toxicity, the half-life of NO was examined. The in vitro half-life of NO in both whole

Several new 6-(3-pyrazolylpropyl) derivatives of 1,4-naphthohydroquinone-1,4-diacetate (NHQ-DA) have been prepared by chemical modifications of the Diels-Alder adduct of alpha-myrcene and 1,4-benzoquinone. All these new compounds and precursors have been evaluated in vitro for their cytotoxicity against cultured human cancer cells
The autoxidation of 1,4-naphthohydroquinone, in a phosphate, EDTA buffer at pH 7.4, exhibits an autocatalysis whose lag phase becomes more pronounced in the presence of either the Cu,Zn- or the Mn-containing superoxide dismutases. In contrast, the autoxidation of a second
