Six naturally occurring aromatic terpenoids and six nonnatural aromatic compounds were oxidized by m-chloroperbenzoic acid in chloroform to give 1,2- and 1,4-quinones or hydroxylated products in which vitamin K1, insecticidal, piscicidal, and antifungal compounds were included.The present method is advantageous for obtaining different types of natural or nonnatural aromatic products having biological activity from the starting aromatic compounds in a one-step reaction.
