The oxidation of 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene with peracetic acid leads to the formation of trimethylphenols and hydroquinones, which undergo transformations to the corresponding benzoquinones and products from oxidative cleavage of the ring.The controlling stage of the process is the electrophilic hydroxylation of 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene.
