A series of novel N-, S-, and O-substituted p-chloranil derivatives were synthesized from the reactions of p-chloranil (1) and related nucleophiles in sodium carbonate (Na 2 CO 3 ) solution of acetonitrile or in chloroform with Et 3 N. The structures of novel compounds were characterized by using microanalysis, Fourier transform–infrared, 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR, and mass spectrometry. ...
