Abstract

Disclosed herein are a quinone derivative represented by the following formula: ##STR1## wherein E.sup.1 and E.sup.2 are identical with or different from each other and mean individually a lower alkyl or lower alkoxy group, or may form an aromatic ring together, E.sup.3 denotes a lower alkyl group, n stands for 0 or an integer of 1-9, and a linkage ------ is a single or double bond, such as a vitamin K derivative or coenzyme Q derivative; and a process for the preparation of the quinone derivative at a high yield without forming any geometric isomer; as well as a 1,4,4.sub.a,8.sub.a -tetrahydro-4.sub.a .alpha.-alkenyl-1.alpha.,4.alpha.-methanonaphthalene-5,8-dione derivative which is useful as an intermediate for the preparation of the quinone derivative.
