A series of 107 1,4-naphthoquinones and related products has been synthesized to study their mode of action in bacterial growth inhibition. The in vitro reactions of a number of these with aniline, n-butylamine, sodium methoxide, and an n-buthanethiol–triethylamine mixture have been examined. A series of epoxides of C-2 monosubstituted and C-2,C-3 disubstituted 1,4-naphthoquinones has been synthesized and their reactions with amines, thiols, and halogen acids have been studied. The ultraviolet absorption maxima of many of these quinones are also tabulated.
合成了一系列107种1,4-萘醌和相关产物,以研究它们在抑制细菌生长中的作用方式。已经研究了其中一些与苯胺、正丁胺、甲氧基钠和正丁硫醇-三乙胺混合物的体外反应。合成了一系列C-2单取代和C-2、C-3双取代1,4-萘醌的环氧化物,并研究了它们与胺、硫醇和卤素酸的反应。这些醌类化合物中许多的紫外吸收极值也已列出。
