1,2-Naphthoquinone or ortho-naphthoquinone is a polycyclic aromatic organic compound with formula C
10H
6O
2. This yellow solid is prepared by oxidation of 1-amino-2-hydroxynaphthalene with ferric chloride.[1]
Occurrence
This diketone (an ortho-quinone) is a metabolite of naphthalene. It arises from the naphthalene-1,2-oxide.[2]
It is also found in diesel exhaust particles. The accumulation of this toxic metabolite in rats from doses of naphthalene has been shown to cause eye damage, including the formation of cataracts.[3]
