Microwave-induced acetylation of 2-methyl-5-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (plumbagin)
A rapid route for acetylation of 2-methyl-5-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (plumbagin) using acetic anhydride and iodine under irradiation in a modified commercial domestic microwave is reported. The acetate was obtained in high yield after a short reaction time compared to conventional method and ultra...
