While reduction of the ester functionality in 8, deprotection of 1,2-acetonide, oxidative cleavage with NaIO(4) and the intrarnolecular Henry reaction afforded nitrocyclopentitol 13. Nitrocyclitols 9 and 13 were converted to the hydroxyethyl substituted aminocyclohexitol 5 and aminocyclopentitol 6, respectively. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.</p>},

	abstract = {<p>Four analogues of 2-bromo-3-(n-alkylamino)-1,4-napthoquinone (where n-alkyl is methyl in L-1Br, ethyl in L-2Br, propyl in L-3Br and butyl in L-4Br) are synthesized and characterized. A reaction mechanism is proposed for the formation of L-1 Br to L-4Br from the starting material 2,3-dibromo-1,4-naphthoquinone. The v(N-H) frequency in the FT-IR spectra is affected by the intramolecular hydrogen bonding in L-1Br to L-4Br and is observed similar to 3267 cm(-1) in L-2Br. A shift of similar to 25 cm(-1) is observed in the v(C-Br) frequency in all the compounds as compared to 2,3-dibromo-1,4-naphthoquinone (627 cm(-1)). A broad charge transfer band is observed between 400 and 600 nm in the UV-Vis spectra, which imparts red colour to all the compounds. Molecular structures of L-2Br and L-3Br were studied by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Molecules of L-2Br crystallize in Pca2(1), whereas the molecule L-3Br crystallizes in the P-1 space group. Molecules of L-2Br forms a polymeric chain through N-H...O interaction and forms beautiful butterfly like arrangement of molecules when viewed down the {\textquoteleft}a{\textquoteright} axis. Ladder like polymeric chain of molecules is observed in L-3Br via C-H...O and N-H...O interactions. Every alternating neighbouring chains of L-3Br, show pi-pi stacking interactions between the quinonoid rings of the molecules, however this interaction is not observed in L-2Br.
