1,4-Naphthalenedione(Cat No.: M069528), also known as para-naphthoquinone, is an aromatic diketone featuring a naphthalene backbone with carbonyl groups at the 1 and 4 positions. This yellow crystalline solid is a key intermediate in the synthesis of dyes, agrochemicals, and biologically active molecules. It exhibits redox activity, making it useful in electron transfer studies and as a building block in organic semiconductors. 1,4-Naphthalenedione also occurs naturally in some plants and fungi, where it contributes to antimicrobial and cytotoxic properties.
