Photoreactivity of some 2-alkoxy/phenoxy-3,5,6-tri-chloro/bromo-1,4-benzoquinones

We report the reaction between 2,3,5,6-tetrachloro/bromo-1,4-benzoquinones (5A/B) with deprotonated alkoholes/phenoles 7a-e to give yellow 2-alkoxy/phenoxy-3,5,6-trichloro/bromo-1,4-benzoquinones 9A/Ba-e. These reaction products are probably photodegraded yielding the corresponding 2-hydroxy-3,5,6-trichloro/bromo-1,4-benzoquinones 15A/B. The quinones 9A/B are not O-conjugated dehydrated, and the quinones 9Ba-e are not C-3-debrominated. These reactions are observed by photodegradation from 2-dialkylamino-3,5,6-trichloro/bromo-1,4-benzoquinones.
