5-(3,5-Di-t-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)tropolone (5) and 5,5'-bitropolone (7) were synthesized using transition-metal-catalyzed coupling reactions.Oxidation of 5 afforded the diphenoquinone-type trione (6); however, 7 could not be converted into 8.The quinonoid character of 6 is discussed on the basis of the electrochemical redox behavior.
