2-Methyl-1,4-naphthalenediol

Description:

2-Methyl-1,4-naphthalenediol, with the CAS number 481-85-6, is an organic compound characterized by its naphthalene structure, which consists of two fused benzene rings. This compound features two hydroxyl (-OH) groups positioned at the 1 and 4 positions of the naphthalene ring, along with a methyl group at the 2 position. It appears as a solid, typically white to pale yellow in color, and is soluble in organic solvents while having limited solubility in water. The presence of hydroxyl groups contributes to its potential as a reducing agent and its ability to participate in hydrogen bonding, influencing its reactivity and interactions with other substances. 2-Methyl-1,4-naphthalenediol is often studied for its applications in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of various chemical compounds. Additionally, it may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in pharmacological research. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.

2-Methyl-1,4-naphthohydroquinone

CAS: 481-85-6

2-Methyl-1,4-naphthohydroquinone is an additive that is used in the production of dyes and other chemicals. It has been shown to be toxic to murine hepatoma cells at high concentrations. The redox potentials of 2-methyl-1,4-naphthohydroquinone are reported to be -0.22 V (vs Hg/HgO) and +0.27 V (vs Na/NaSO). 2-Methyl-1,4-naphthohydroquinone also possesses affinity for cytochrome P450 enzymes, which are involved in the metabolism of xenobiotics. 2-Methyl-1,4-naphthohydroquinone is an effective reducing agent that can reduce menadione and vitamin K3 to the corresponding quinones; it also catalyzes transfer reactions with diphosphate (-P(=O)(OH)) as a substrate
