naphthazarin
Sign in to saveAlso known as 5,8-dihydroxynaphthoquinone, naphthazarone, 5,8-dihydroxy-1,4-naphthalenedione, naphthazarine, 5,8-dihydroxy-1,4-naphthosemiquinone
Naphthazarin, often called 5,8-dihydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone or 5,8-dihydroxy-1,4-naphthalenedione (IUPAC), is a naturally occurring organic compound with formula , 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.
