The Friedel—Crafts acylation of trimethylhydroquinone, 3,5-diethyl-2-hydroxyhydroquinone, and 3,5-diethyl-1,2,4-trimethoxybenzene with dichloromaleic or citraconic anhydride in an AlCl₃—NaCl melt is accompanied by o-C-dealkylation to afford functionally substituted naphthazarins.     

Synthesis and photochemical behavior of donor-acceptor systems obtained from chloro-1,4-naphthoquinone attached to trans-aminostilbenes

2-Chloro-1,4-naphthoquinone was covalently attached to six differently substituted and positional isomers of trans-aminostilbene, forming a novel donor-acceptor system (QST), in which a good fluorophore is bonded via an NH group to an active redox quencher. The new systems were characterized by FT-IR, ¹H NMR, HR-MS, UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy. The redox state of the system QST/QH₂ST controls its photochemical properties. While the QST's behave as an ‘auto-quenching system’ and are non-fluorescent, the reduced hydroquinonic system (QH₂ST) affects appreciably the emission properties of the molecule.

Interactions of neutral and cationic transition metals with the redox system of hydroquinone and quinone: theoretical characterization of the binding topologies, and implications for the formation of nanomaterials

To understand the self-assembly process of the transition metal (TM) nanoclusters and nanowires self-synthesized by hydroquinone (HQ) and calix[4]hydroquinone (CHQ) by electrochemical redox processes, we have investigated the binding sites of HQ for the transition-metal cations TM(n+)=Ag(+), Au(+), Pd(2+), Pt(2+), and Hg(2+) and those of quinone (Q) for the reduced neutral metals TM(0), using ab initio calculations. For comparison, TM(0)-HQ and TM(n+)-Q interactions, as well as the cases for Na(+) and Cu(+) (which do not take part in self-synthesis by CHQ) are also included. In general, TM-ligand coordination is controlled by symmetry constraints imposed on the respective orbital interactions. Calculations predict that, due to synergetic interactions, silver and gold are very efficient metals for one-dimensional (1D) nanowire formation in the self-assembly process, platinum and mercury favor both nanowire/nanorod and thin film formation, while palladium favors two-dimensional (2D) thin film formation.     

Fast and sensitive high performance liquid chromatography analysis of cosmetic creams for hydroquinone, phenol and six preservatives

A fast and sensitive HPLC method for analysis of cosmetic creams for hydroquinone, phenol and six preservatives has been developed. The influence of sample preparation conditions and the composition of the mobile phase and elution mode were investigated to optimize the separation of the eight studied components. Final conditions were 60% methanol and 40% water (v/v) extraction of the cosmetic creams. A C18 column (100 mm × 2.1 mm) was used as the separation column and the mobile phase consisted of methanol and 0.05 mol/L ammonium formate in water (pH=3.0) with gradient elution. The results showed that complete separation of the eight studied components was achieved within 10 min, the linear ranges were 1.0-200 μg/mL for phenol, 0.1-150 μg/mL for sorbic acid, 2.0-200 μg/mL for benzoic acid, 0.5-200 μg/mL for hydroquinone, methyl paraben, ethyl paraben and propyl paraben, butyl paraben, and good linear correlation coefficient (≥0.9997) were obtained, the detection limit was in the range of 0.05-1.0 μg/mL, the average recovery was between 86.5% and 116.3%, and the relative standard deviation (RSD) was less than 5.0% (n=6). The method is easy, fast and sensitive, it can be employed to analyze component residues in cosmetic creams especially in a quality control setting.     

Structure of the 1:1 complex of dimethyl sulfoxide with hydroquinone: Supramolecular architecture based on D-H⋯A hydrogen bonds (D = O,C; A = O, π)

The hydroquinone-dimethyl sulfoxide-toluene system was investigated by thermal and X-ray diffraction analyses. The crystal structure of the 1:1 complex of hydroquinone with dimethyl sulfoxide was determined. Crystal data: C₈H₁₂O₃S, M = 188.24, triclinic system, space group P1¯, unit cell parameters: a = 7.4202(2) Å, b = 8.4046(3) Å, c = 8.7340(3) Å; α = 100.830(1)°, β = 99.794(1)°, γ = 114.129(1)°; V = 469.35(4) ų, Z = 2, d _calc = 1.332 g/cm³, R1 = 0.028, T = 100 K. The molecules are linked in a supramolecular assembly via D-H...A hydrogen bonds (D = O, C; A = O, π).     

Synthesis and characterization of polyesters derived from sebacic acid,hexanediol, and hydroquinone

Oils and fats derived from animals and plants provide a good renewable source for polymer precursors. In this investigation, fatty acids derived from plant oils and diols were used as monomers to produce polyesters by melt polycondensation. Sebacic acid, hexanediol, and hydroquinone were used as precursors in the polymer synthesis. The polymers were characterized by gel permeation chromatography, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, three-bending point flexural test, X-ray diffraction, tensile testing, and contact angle. The resulting polyesters were blended with epoxies to create materials with an increased elongation at break without affecting other mechanical properties.     

In vitro evaluation of cytotoxic and mutagenic activity of avarol

The cytotoxicity of avarol, a main secondary metabolite of the Mediterranean sponge Dysidea avara, was in vitro screened by MTT assay against four human tumour cell lines. The colon HT-29 tumour cells practically showed to be the only sensitive ones towards this organic compound. No toxicity was found against the fetal lung fibroblast MRC-5 cells at the concentrations tested. In comparison with doxorubicin, used as a positive control, avarol actually exhibited at least 588-fold less toxicity towards normal MRC-5 cells. Finally, comet assay indicated that DNA fragmentation was almost fivefold higher upon the treatment with doxorubicin, compared to avarol. The obtained results have actually confirmed that avarol scaffold may contribute to development of new cytostatics inspired by nature.
