Summary The oxidation of halogenated pyrogallol-2, 6-dimethyl ethers leads to the formation of colorless products. The same products are likewise obtained by the further oxidation of phenoxy quinones, derived from the halogenated phenols by oxidation. These colorless compounds differ from previously known quinone oxidation products by virtue of the fact that in their formation by rupture of the quinone ring, only one carbon atom of the ...
