An efficient, simple and inexpensive method for the preparation of 1,4-benzoquinone monoketals via anodic oxidation of 1,4-dimethoxybenzenes

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919408010619

Anodic oxidation of a series of 1-substituted-2,5-dimethoxybenzenes gives 2-substituted-1,1,4,4-tetramethoxycyclohexa-2,5-dienes in almost quantitative crude yield. Selective monohydrolysis of these bis-ketals is possible in many cases, and gives 3-substi
