Naphthoquinone

Naphthoquinones constitute a class of organic compounds (quinones) structurally related to naphthalene. The 1,2- and 1,4-isomers are common but others exist:[1]

Use and occurrence

Many natural products feature naphthoquinones, especially the 1,4 isomer.[3]

Amine-substituted naphthoquiones, e.g. Artisil Blue GFL and Helindon Yellow R, were once used as dyes.[4] Some interest remains in this area.[5]
