Naphthazarin, often called 5,8-dihydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone or 5,8-dihydroxy-1,4-naphthalenedione (IUPAC), is a naturally occurring[1][2] organic compound with formula C

, formally derived from 1,4-naphthoquinone through replacement of two hydrogen atoms by hydroxyl (OH) groups. It is thus one of many dihydroxynaphthoquinone structural isomers.

Naphthazarin is soluble in 1,4-dioxane from which it crystallizes as deep red needles that melt at 228−232 °C.[3]

Synthesis

Naphtharazin can be prepared by condensation of 1,4-dimethoxybenzene with 2,3-dichloromaleic anhydride followed by reductive dechlorination and reoxidation.[4][5]

Naphtharazin can also be obtained by oxidation of 5,8-dihydroxy-1-tetralone with manganese dioxide (MnO2).[3]
