Abstract

The homolytic methylation of naphthoquinone to obtain menadione has been investigated by three sources of methyl radical: t-BuOOH DMSO and H2O2 acetone and H2O2. Moreover the homolytic alkylation of naphthoquinone and 2-methylnaphthoquinone has been investigated by using alkyl iodides as sources of alkyl radicals.
