3,3'-(1,4-NAPHTHYLIDINE)DIPROPIONATE, 2NA

NDP is a precursor to NDPO2 in the presence of?1O2. NDP is a water-soluble 1,4-disubstituted naphthalene (NDP) that readily forms an endoperoxide (NDPO2) in the presence of singlet oxygen (1O2). Its thermal decomposition serves as an extracellular chemical source of 1O2. Supplied with a procedure for NDPO2 generation.
