Increased steric size of alkyl groups and the presence of coordinating atoms on alkoxy groups have both been found to contribute to decreasing yields of diquinones upon reaction of 2-alkyl-1,4-dialkoxybenzenes with CAN. The overall hydrophilicity of the substrates does not appear to be a significant factor in determining the diquinone yield for these reactions.
