The title compound 3 reacts with various electrophiles such as hydrogen halides, benzoyl chloride, iodomethane, and bromine to afford 3‐halo derivatives of 2‐hydroxy‐1,4‐naphthoquinone. 3 reacts also with dimethyl sulfide to give a trans‐ylidation product; photochemically, furan derivatives are formed with 2‐methyl‐2‐butene, styrene, and phenylacetylene. Carbon disulfide affords the 2‐thioxo‐1,3‐oxathiole derivative 15.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
