In general, if the atoms that make up the ring contain heteroatoms, such rings become heterocycles, and organic compounds containing heterocycles are called heterocyclic compounds. An article called Oxidation of 1-naphthol and related phenols with hydrogen peroxide and potassium superoxide catalyzed by 5,10,15,20-tetraarylporphyrinatoiron(III) chlorides in different reaction conditions, published in 1999-01-08, which mentions a compound: 1127-45-3, Name is 8-Hydroxyquinoline 1-oxide, Molecular C9H7NO2, Application In Synthesis of 8-Hydroxyquinoline 1-oxide.
Reaction of 1-naphthol and related phenols with hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by 5,10,15,20-tetra(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrinatoiron(III) chloride gives quinones and oxidative coupling products, whereas the reaction of naphthols with hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by 5,10,15,20-tetramesitylporphyrinatoiron(III) chloride gives the above products along with quinone epoxides in moderate yields. The reaction of quinone with potassium superoxide catalyzed by Me12TPPFe(III)Cl and p-MeOTPPFe(III)Cl give higher yields of quinone epoxides than the reaction of quinone with hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by 5,10,15,20-tetraarylporphyrinatoiron(III) chlorides.
Although many compounds look similar to this compound(1127-45-3)Application In Synthesis of 8-Hydroxyquinoline 1-oxide, numerous studies have shown that this compound(SMILES:OC1=CC=CC2=CC=C[N+]([O-])=C12), has unique advantages.
