Tetrafluorosilane-catalyzed redox reactions of 3,6-di-tert-butyl-ortho-benzoquinone have been examined.From the EPR spectroscopic data and a study of the reaction products, a mechanism for these reactions is proposed involving the formation of a quinone-tetrafluorosilane complex which has strong oxidizing properties, and which enables the original quinone to undergo further reactions.
