P-quinols and p-quinol Ethers from 2,4,6-trialkylphenols

The oxidation of 2,4,6-trialkylphenols with lead(IV) oxide and 70% perchloric acid in water-acetone or in alcohols gives p-quinols or p-quinol ethers, respectively. Some nonmetallic oxidants serve the same purpose. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.

Bromide-assisted oxidation of substituted phenols with hydrogen peroxide to the corresponding p-quinol and p-quinol ethers over WO4 2--exchanged layered double hydroxides

A simple and efficient one-pot synthesis of p-quinols and their ethers occurs over tungstate-exchanged layered double hydroxides (WO4 2--LDHs), which catalyze the bromide-assisted oxidation of substituted phenols to the corresponding 4-alkoxy- and 4-hydroxycyclohexa-2,5- dienones in high yields (see scheme).
