Hexahydroxy-23-naphthalenedione is an organic compound with formula C10H6O8. It is formally derived from 23-naphthoquinone (23-naphtalenedione) through replacement of all six hydrogen atoms by hydroxyl (OH) groups. The full IUPAC name is 145678-hexahydroxynaphthalene-23-dione but the positions of the hydroxyl groups need not be indicated since there is no other hexahydroxy derivative of 23-naphthoquinone.
