Anodic oxidation of a series of 1-substituted-2,5-dimethoxybenzenes gives 2-substituted-1,1,4,4-tetramethoxycyclohexa-2,5-dienes in almost quantitative crude yield. Selective monohydrolysis of these bis-ketals is possible in many cases, and gives 3-substi

The anodic oxidation of 12 functionalized 1,4-dimethoxybenzene derivatives and 8 functionalized 1,4-dimethoxynaphthalenes has been studied under a variety of conditions.Many substituted 1,4-dimethoxy aromatics afford high yields of the respective quinone bisketals by single-cell anodic oxidation without accurate control of the electrode potential.Oxidizable groups offen complicate the anodic oxidation; however, in some cases protected derivatives of these functionalities can be converted to the bisketals in good yields.Aromatics containing reducible functions can besmoothly oxidized to quinone bisketals by the use of a divided cell.The current efficiencies and the effect of electrode material on selected systems are reported and discussed.
