Substituent effects in the oxidation of 2-alkyl-1,4-dialkoxybenzenes with ceric ammonium nitrate

Increased steric size of alkyl groups and the presence of coordinating atoms on alkoxy groups have both been found to contribute to decreasing yields of diquinones upon reaction of 2-alkyl-1,4-dialkoxybenzenes with CAN. The overall hydrophilicity of the substrates does not appear to be a significant factor in determining the diquinone yield for these reactions.

Improved synthesis of diquinones

Preparation of a series of substituted diquinones is reported. In most examples, inverse order of addition (addition of a dimethoxybenzene derivative to a CAN solution) has been found to produce higher yields of diquinones than the traditional protocol in which the oxidant is added to the arene.
