“…Such studies have shown that these compounds exist largely in the 1,2-quinone monooximic form (Ia) in the solid state and exhibit geometric isomerism centred on the orientation of the oximic OH group relative to the quinoid carbonyl group (Romers & Fischmann, 1960;Romers, 1964). Like the 5-hydroxy-substituted 1,2-benzoquinone monooximes (Charalambous, Christidis, Dodd, McPartlin, Pathirana & Talee, 1991), aminosubstituted 1,2-quinone monooximes could exist in several other isomeric forms.…”
