Oxidation Using Quaternary Ammonium Polyhalides. VIII. Oxidation of 1,4-Benzenediols with Benzyltrimethylammonium Tribromide

The reaction of 1,4-benzenediols with 1.1 equiv of benzyltrimethylammonium tribromide in dichloromethane in the presence of aqueous sodium acetate at room temperature gave 2,5-cyclohexadiene-1,4-diones in good yields.On the other hand, the reaction of 1,4-benzenediols with a large excess of the reagent in aqueous acetic acid at 40-60 deg C gave polybromo-substituted 2,5-cyclohexadiene-1,4-diones in good yields.
