Synthesis and Evaluation of Cytotoxicity and Antioxidant Properties of Polyfluorinated Phosphorus-containing 1,4-Benzoquinones and 1,4-Naphthoquinones

Aim: Synthesis and analysis of antioxidant and antitumor properties of fluorinated phosphorus- containing derivatives of tetrafluoro-1,4-benzoquinone and hexafluoro-1,4-naphthoquinone. Methodology: All compounds were synthesized by amino- and phosphanodefluorination with corresponding amines and phosphanes. The cytotoxicity of these fluorinated benzoquinones and Original Research Article
