Synthesis and Transformations of 2-Hydroxy-3-arylazo-1,4-naphthoquinones

摘要

A series of 2-hydroxy-3-arylazo-1,4-naphthoquinones were prepared by coupling of 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone with aryldiazonium chlorides. The reactivity of the products toward electrophilic and nucleophilic agents was studied. In reaction with o-phenylenediamine they give condensation products, the corresponding benzo[a] phenazines.
