Abstract

Benzoyl transfer accompanies the oxidation of monobenzoates of hydroquinones. Oxidising agents used in the present investigation were ceric ion, thallic ion,-bromosuccinimide, bromine, a high potential quinone, and lithium periodate. Evidence is presented that acylium intermediates are formed in the oxidations wit
