The polymer-bound quinone2 has been prepared and used in column form with organic solvents for the convenient preparation of other quinones. In contrast to the solution reaction hydrocyanation of this quinone by the Thiele-Meisenheimer reaction did not yield a useful proportion of polymer-bound dicyanohydroquinone but instead gave a mixture of products including much monocyanohydroquinone.
