Menadiol is an organic compound with the formula C6H4(COH)2(CH)(CH3). It is formally a derivative of p-hydroquinone. The name vitamin K4 can refer to:

  • specifically this compound,[1][2]
  • its various esters, e.g.
    • menadiol diacetate (acetomenaphthone),[3][4]
    • menadiol dibutyrate,[4]
    • menadiol dimalonate, or[2]
  • its various salts, like
    • menadiol sodium diphosphate (Kappadione)[5][2][4]
    • menadiol sodium disulfate.[4]

Menadiol sodium diphosphate is approved in the UK for treatment and prevention of haemorrhage, mainly in obstructive jaundice (before and after surgery).[6]

Menadiol is probably naturally produced by reduction of menadione ("vitamin K3"; see Quinone § Reduction) as an intermediate in the conversion from K3 to MK-4.[7] It can be oxidized in experimental conditions back to menadione.[8]
