At temperatures below 120 deg C 5,8-dihydro-1,4-naphthoquinone undergoes disproportionation with the formation of 1,4-naphthoquinone and 5,8-dihydronaphthalene-1,4-diol.At higher temperatures isomerization occurs with the formation of 1,4-dihydroxynaphthalene and small amounts of 2,3-dihydro-1,4-naphthoquinone.Under analogous conditions 5-methyl-5,8-dihydro-1,4-naphthoquinone isomerizes to a mixture of tautomers (5-methyl-1,4-dihydroxynaphthalene and 5-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1,4-naphthoquinone).
