Treatment of 4-perfluoroalkyl-4-quinols with acetic anhydride-sulfuric acid was found to lead to 1, 2-and 1, 3-migration of acetoxyl group in initially formed quinol acetates followed by aromatization to give a mixture of 4-perfluoroalkylresorcinol diacetate and 4- perfluoroalkylcatechol diacetate.
