1,4-NAPHTHOQUINONE 97% For Synthesis - 100 gm

Description

1,4-Naphthoquinone by Research-Lab Fine Chem Industries is a high grade chemical reagent. Also known as para-naphthoquinone, this organic compound is derived from naphthalene. This isomer is available as volatile yellow triclinic crystals which emit a sharp odour similar to that of benzoquinone. While it is almost insoluble in cold water, it is slightly soluble in petroleum ether, and more soluble in polar organic solvents. Naphthoquinone is the fundamental ring structure that is related with vitamin K activity, which can be formed by addition of long side chain substituents. It is industrially manufactured by the aerobic oxidation of naphthalene over a vanadium oxide catalyst. CAS No.: 130-15-4 Formula: C10H6O2 Quantity Provided: 100 gm per bottle Molecular weight: 158.15 Assay: Min. 97 %1,4-Naphthoquinone is mainly used as a precursor to produce anthroquinone by reaction with butadiene followed by oxidation. It is also employed in synthesis reactions to produce dye precursors. 1,4-Naphthoquinone has been used as a potential inhibitor of monoamine oxidase and DNA topoisomerase activities. It was also applied to inhibit the acetyltransferase activity. In the industrial field, naphthoquinone is used as a rubber (and polyester resins) polymerization regulator. It is required as an intermediate for pharmaceuticals and pesticides, and used as an anti-mycotic agent.
