Abstract:
The preparation and crystal structure of 8-chloro-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]phenazine 5-oxide (1) are described. Compound 1 formed dark purple crystals from deeply colored solution in methanol. Crystal plates were in the triclinic system, P-1 space group with unit cell parameters a = 6.9514(8), b = 9.1568(10), c = 10.2067(11), α = 84.509(2), β = 82.936(2), γ = 72.357(2) and a cell volume of 613.25(12) A-3. The title compound which contains the first example of the extensively conjugated pyrrolo-phenazine N-oxide system exhibits strong light absorption in the green to cyan wavelength range which disappears upon protonation.

Structure and Nomenclature of Alcohols and Phenols
Alcohols are one of the most important functional groups in organic chemistry. The name of alcohol comes from the hydrocarbon from which it is derived. Alcohols are organic molecules containing the functional hydroxyl or –OH group directly bonded to carbon. Phenols have an OH group directly attached to a benzene ring. While alcohols are colorless, phenol is a white crystalline compound with a characteristic "hospital smell" odor.

Oxidation of Phenols to Quinones
o-hydroxy phenols are oxidized to o-quinones and p-hydroxy phenols to p-quinones. Such redox reactions involve the transfer of two electrons and two protons. The reversible redox...
