Abstract

The behaviour of various types of polar dienes towards halogenated ortho quinones has been investigated in a number of representative cases. As compared to the commonly used para analogues, o-quinones provide a wide range of products that indicate a keener response to the nature, number, and position of substituents on both reactants. 3- Halogenated-o-naphthoquinones 1 and 2 react smoothly with a representative vinologous ...
