Delete. A search of Chemical Abstracts turns up no reference to this chemical compound in the scientific literature.
Isomers of this compound such as spinochrome E (hexahydroxy-1,4-naphthalenedione) are known, but only as very minor components of extracts from certain sea urchins. Maybe if there was something notable to say about related compounds the article could be broadened in scope to encompass a class of compounds, but as far as I can tell nothing suggests anything close to meeting the
general notability guideline for this specific chemical compound or for a class of closely related compounds.

Delete if, as stated, there is no conclusive evidence that the compound exists. If a paper referring to the compound can be found, keep.

Question - Does it have a
CAS number? If it has a CAS number, the article should be kept, even if the compound has not in fact been isolated. Have its properties been calculated computationally?

Merely having a CAS number is insufficient reason to keep an article. Chemistry articles are not exempt from
WP:GNG (see
WP:NCHEM).
