N-Sulfonyldiphenylsulfimides do not react with hydroquinone, 2,5-di(tert-butyl)hydroquinone, and tetrahydroxy-p-benzoquinone even with prolonged heating above 150 deg C.Selenimides and tellurimides with analogous structures oxidize these compounds to the corresponding quinones.The oxidizing power of the tellurimides in the investigated reations is higher than that of the selenimides.This is explained by the increased polarity of the chalcogen-nitrogen bond and, consequently, the ease of its cleavage in N-sulfonylchalcogenimides in the series: S Se Te.The intermediate products from the reaction of the tellurium derivatives with hydroquinone, i.e., polymeric diaryltellurium p-hydroxyphenolates, were isolated.
