Fc. Franceschini et al., REACTION OF 5-AMINO-8-HYDROXY-1,4-NAPHTHO QUINONE WITH ALIPHATIC AND AROMATIC-AMINES - THEORETICAL-STUDY OF ITS REACTIVITY AND TAUTOMERIC EQUILIBRIUM, Anales de quimica, 91(5-6), 1995, pp. 453-460
The reaction of 5-amino-8-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (1) with aliphati
c and aromatic amines have been studied, in absence or presence of cop
per(II) salts, in order to prepare diaminohydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinones.
Also a quantum mechanics calculation on 1 have been done for studing
its tautomeric equilibria and rationalizing its behaviour in the react
ion with amines.
