Nitrooxyquinones: synthesis, X-ray diffraction and electrochemical studies
摘要:
2-Methyl-3-(nitrooxymethyl)-[1,4]-naphthoquinone and 2-(nitrooxymethyl)-[9,10]-anthraquinone, the first representatives of quinone-derived organic nitrates, potential hybrid drugs, were obtained and characterized through X-ray diffraction. Voltammetric studies showed that reductive elimination occurs, after quinone reduction. The NO3- release, leading to electrogenerated quinonemethide, would suggest a quinone-driven biological activity. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
