The oxidation of 2-methyl-5-tert-butyldiphenylmethane and its 4'-methyl-, chloro-, and nitro-substituded derivatives by potassium permangate in a mixture of pyridine and water leads to the formation of the correspoding 2-benzoyl-4-tert-butyl-benzoic acids, which are converted by the action of sulfuric acid with heat into substituted 2-tert-butylanthraquinones.The cyclization of 2-benzoyl-4-tert-butylbenzoic acids containig a tert-butyl group or chlorine atom in the benzoyl ring is accompanied by a Hayashi rearrangement, which leads to the formation of mixtures thecorresponding 2,6- and 2,7-disubstituted anthraquinones.
