Abstract

Abstract Epoxidation of p-benzoquinone bis (ethylene acetal)(1) with m-chloroperbenzoic acid or hydrogen peroxide/benzonitrile afforded corresponding monoepoxide 2, which was converted into p-benzoquinone mono (ethylene acetal) monoepoxide 5 with perchloric acid. Dihydroxylation of 1 with osmium tetroxide or ruthenium trichloride/sodium periodate afforded corresponding cis-diol 6, which was subsequently acetylated to give diacetate 7. ...
