Unique nucleophilic substitution and addition reactions of nitrogen and sulfur nucleophiles with 1,4-quinones in aqueous suspension with amines and thiols have recently been demonstrated by us.2 However, the reactivity of oxygen nucleophiles toward nucleophilic substitution compared to nitrogen and sulfur nucleophiles ‘on water’ is not facile. An unprecedented economical, green methodology approach

Various oxygen containing 1,4-naphthoquinone derivatives have been synthesized chemoselectively by an economical, viable green methodology approach using water as solvent with or without surfactants such as Triton X-100, SDS, LD (laundry detergent), and TBAB, a phase transfer catalyst and evaluated for their in vitro antifungal and antibacterial activity. The antifungal profile of 3, 4a, 4b, and 6 indicated that compounds 3a, 3b, 4b, 6a, and 6c have potent antifungal activity compared to clinically prevalent antifungal drugs Fluconazole and Amphotericin-B against Sporothrix schenckii, Trichophyton mentagraphytes, and Candida parapsilosis and compound 3b has been found to be a lead antifungal agent for further study.
