A new aci-quinone compound, 4-(aci-nitro)-2-(methoxy)-5-(3-nitro-2-(nitrooxy)propyl)-cyclohexa-2,5dienone (2), an analog to 4-(aci-nitro)-2-(carboxymethoxy)-5-(3-nitro-2-(nitrooxy)propyl)-cyclohexa-2,5-dienone (1), was successfully synthesized and fully characterized by spectroscopic methods. The reactions of 1 and 2 with various reagents such as hydroxylamine, acetic anhydride, semicarbazide and thiosemicarbazide were examined. The structure of 11 obtained new compounds was established by IR, 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR, HMBC and MS spectra. It was shown that the unstable, sensitive aci-quinone structure of compounds 1 and 2 can exist in anhydrous organic solvents such as AcOEt, EtOH but in the presence of water, H + , HOor at high temperatures, the aci-quinone structure of both 1 and 2 tendentiously transformed into the more stable nitro-phenol form.
