Synthesis of Juglone (5-Hydroxy-1,4-Naphthoquinone) in a Falling Film Microreactor
نویسندگان
چکیده
Photooxygenation of 1,5-dihydroxynaphthalene to Juglone was studied in a falling film microreactor. Moderate conversion rates of up to 31% were achieved after just 160 s of exposure to visible light. In contrast, batch reactions gave much lower conversions of up to 14% after a prolonged time period of 10 min. The difference in performance is explained by the superior light penetration in the microfilm and the large gasYliquid contact area.

Treatment of 5,8-dihydroxy-1-tetralone (9) with either 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ) in refluxing benzene or silver (I) oxide in refluxing 1,4-dioxane afforded juglone (5-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone) (1) in good yield. With manganese dioxide in dioxane the tetralone gave a mixture of juglone and naphthazarin (5,8-dihydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone) (3), the proportion of naphthazarin...

From the treatment of 5-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (juglone) with acetic anhydride and H2SO4 followed subsequently by treatment with methanolic HCl, 5-hydroxy-3-methoxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (3-methoxy juglone) and 8-hydroxy-4-methoxy-1,2-naphthoquinone were obtained as products rather than the anticipated product 2,5-dihydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (2-hydroxy juglone). The reaction and the identific...

A method for determination of juglone in leaves and hulls of Pterocarya fraxinifolia was developed, based on RP-HPLC. This compound was extracted from leaves and hulls by chloroform refluxing about 2 hours. The chloroform was evaporated under low pressure at 50 ºC to produce a dry residue. The remained materials were dissolved in acetonitrile to be used for determination of this compound....

In the present study, an appropriate synthetic route was adopted to produce the target synthesis of Juglone. In the first of these objectives, 5-nitro-1,4-naphthoquinone had been synthesized by direct nitration of 1,4-naphthoquinone in the presence of water and sulfuric acid. Then the intermediate synthesis of 5-amino-1,4-naphthoquinone was obtained by the reduction of nitro. Finally, Juglone w...

The effect of hydroxy substitution on 1,4-naphthoquinone toxicity to cultured rat hepatocytes was studied. Toxicity of the quinones decreased in the series 5,8-dihydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone greater than 5-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone greater than 1,4-naphthoquinone greater than 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone, and intracellular GSSG formation decreased in the order 5,8-dihydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone gr...
