Naphthoquinone
Diketone derived from naphthalene
Naphthoquinones constitute a class of organic compounds structurally related to naphthalene. Two isomers are common for the parent naphthoquinones:
- 1,2-Naphthoquinone
- 1,4-Naphthoquinone
Natural products
- Alkannin
- Hexahydroxy-1,4-naphthalenedione
- Juglone
