  1. Hydroxynaphthoquinone

    A hydroxynaphthoquinone is any of several organic compounds that can be viewed as derivatives of a naphthoquinone through replacement of one hydrogen atom by an hydroxyl group. In general, the term may mean any naphthoquinone derivative where any number n of hydrogens have been replaced by n hydroxyls, so that the formula is C10H6O2+n. In this case the number n is indicated by a multiplier prefix. The unqualified term "hydroxynaphthoquinone" usually means a derivative of 1,4-naphthoquinone. Other hydroxy- compounds can be derived from other isomers of the latter, such as 1,2-naphthoquinone and 2,6-naphthoquinone. The IUPAC nomenclature uses dihydronaphthalenedione instead of "naphthoquinone", with the necessary prefixes to indicate the positions of the carbonyl oxygens — as in 5,8-dihydroxy-1a,8a-dihydronaphthalene-1,4-dione. The hydroxynaphtoquinones include many biologically and industrially important compounds, and are a building-block of many medicinal drugs.
