Structure–Reactivity Relationships of Naphthoquinone Compounds: Structural Control of Electron Transfer and Nucleophilic Addition

Naphthoquinones are formed by fusion of a quinonoid six-membered ring containing two carbonyl groups with a benzene ring. This fused structure gives the molecule both a quinonoid reactive region and a benzenoid ring region, which influence each other through a continuous π system. The quinonoid ...
