The sterically crowded title compound, C 14 H 12 O 4 , crystallizes as centrosymmetric hydrogen‐bonded dimers involving the carboxyl groups. The naphthoquinone ring system is folded by 11.5 (1)° about a vector joining the 1,4‐C atoms, and the quinone O atoms are displaced from the ring plane, presumably because of steric interactions with the bulky substituent.
