Access to functionalized quinones via the aromatic oxidation of phenols bearing an alcohol or olefinic function catalyzed by supported iron phthalocyanine

The controlled oxidation at only one position of compounds with several oxidizable sites, while keeping the other sites intact, has been demonstrated for phenols bearing alcohol or olefinic functional groups. Iron tetrasulfophthalocyanine supported on silica was found to be an efficient catalyst for the preparation of functionalized quinones under mild conditions, with tert-butylhydroperoxide as the oxidant. A novel rapid and mild one-pot procedure for the covalent grafting of iron tetrasulfophthalocyanine onto silica has been developed. The supported catalyst was characterized by chemical analysis, a specific surface study, UV-vis spectroscopy and XPS. A non-radical mechanism for this unusual selective oxidation has been revealed by 18O labelling experiments. The Royal Society of Chemistry and the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique.

A biomimetic approach to dihydrobenzofuran synthesis

A method for an acid-catalyzed construction of dihydrobenzofuran heterocycles (14) from 2-(2′-hydroxyethyl)quinone precursors 10 is presented. The putative oxonium ion intermediate 17 formed by an intramolecular hydroxyl cyclization followed by dehydration is reduced in situ by an added dihydroquinone source. Good to excellent yields of cyclized products are realized in all cases except for highly electron deficient systems, and these suffer reduction prior to oxonium ion formation. All products are monomeric and derived from a two-electron transfer except for 10g, which affords the dimeric dihydrobenzofuran. The amount of cyclization or reduction product is governed by the HOMO/LUMO gap between the quinone substrate and the dihydroquinone additive, and the product distribution can be adjusted by modifying the electronic properties of the added reducing agent.

Process for dyeing keratinous fibres with a hydroxyindole in combination with a quinone derivative; and novel 1,4-benzoquinones

Process for dyeing keratinous fibres, comprising the step of applying to these fibres at least one composition A containing, in a medium appropriate for dyeing, at least one mono- or di-hydroxyindole the application of the composition A being preceded or followed by the application of a composition B containing, in a medium appropriate for dyeing, at least one quinone derivative chosen from ortho- or para-benzoquinones, monoimines or diimines of ortho- or para-benzoquinones, 1,2- or 1,4-naphthoquinones, sulphonimides of ortho- or para-benzoquinones, α, ω-alkylene-bis-1,4-benzoquinones, or 1,2- or 1,4-naphthoquinone-monoimines or -diimines; the mono- or di-hydroxyindoles and the quinone derivatives being chosen such that the oxidation-reduction potential difference ΔE between the oxidation-reduction potential Ei of the mono- or di-hydroxyindoles, determined at pH 7 in a phosphate medium on a vitreous carbon electrode by voltametry, and the oxidation-reduction potential Eq of the quinone derivative determined at pH 7 in a phosphate medium by polarography on a mercury electrode and relative to a saturated calomel electrode is such that
