Synthesis and Spectral and Electrochemical Characterization of Novel Substituted 1,4-Naphthoquinone Derivatives

The novel substituted 2,3-dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone derivatives were synthesized from the reactions of (1) and related nucleophilles in sodium carbonate (Na₂CO₃) solution of ethanol, chloroform with Et₃N, or potassium carbonate (K₂CO₃) solution of acetonitrile. The structures of novel compounds were characterized by using microanalysis, Fourier transform–infrared, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, mass spectrometry, and cyclic voltammetry (CV).
