CONCLUSIONS
(1) Aniline and o-toluidine in solutions of Mo V-
phosphoric heteropoly acids are oxidized to 1,4-ben-
zoquinone or undergo oxidative polymerization to
form polyanilines.

(2) The adducts of the Diels Alder reaction are
oxidized with heteropoly acid solutions to the corre-
sponding p-quinones.

(3) Solutions of heteropoly acids can be used as
bifunctional catalysts, i.e., acid catalysts in the Diels
Alder reaction and oxidation catalysts. In the presence
of HPA-x (x = 4 6) solutions, a mixture of the prod-
ucts is obtained with a high content of 9,10-anthra-
quinone and 1,4,4a,9a-tetrahydro-9,10-anthraquinone
at nearly quantitative conversion of the initial substrate
the reaction. The NQ conversion and AQ yield in-
crease with time. The dependence of the precipitate
composition on the reaction time (based on the
1
H NMR data) is shown in Fig. 2. As seen, the frac-
tion of DHA in the reaction mixture is greater than
that of THA. This suggests that the oxidation of DHA
in AQ is slower than the oxidation of THA to DHA.

hydroquinone, 1,4-benzoquinone, or 1,4-naphtho-
quinone). The one-pot process combines reactions of
diene synthesis and oxidation of its products.
We also studied the condensation of HPA-4 with
1
,3-butadiene as influenced by some organic solvents.
REFERENCES
We found that such solvents as toluene, benzene, and
chloroform do not noticeably affect the NQ conver-
sion and AQ yield. These results agree with the data
on the diene synthesis of NQ with 1,3-butadiene in
HPA-6 solution (Table 2).

We also studied how the HPA-4 : NQ molar ratio
affects the composition of the reaction products of
the diene synthesis of NQ with 1,3-butadiene and sub-
sequent oxidation of the adducts [scheme (11)]. The
HPA-4 : NQ molar ratio was varied by changing
the content of NQ at constant content of HPA-4; the
results are listed in Table 4.
