Abstract
The electrochemical oxidation of different methoxynaphthalenes to afford th e corresponding 5,8-dihydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinones has been examined. This m ethod constitutes a new alternative and efficient route for the synthesis o f the 5,8-dihydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone nucleus. (C) 2000 Elsevier science L td. All rights reserved.
