Abstract

(1) Goldstein, SL; McNelis, EJ Org. Chem. 1973, 38, 183. compound 2 is the principal product in basic systems; anil 3 [2, 6-dimethyl-p-benzoquinone 4-(2, 4, 6-trimethylanil)] is the principal product in acidic systems with or without methanol; anil 4 [2, 6-dimethyl-3- (methoxymethyl)-p-benzoquinone 4-(2, 4, 6-trimethylanil)] is a significant product in acidic systems containing methanol. The mechanism of removal or shifts of the methyl groups ...
