Activated sterically strained C=N bond in N-substituted p-quinone mono- and diimines: XIV. Reaction of some 3,5-dimethyl-1,4-benzoquinone monoimines with alcohols
摘要:
Steric strain in the C=N-C fragment in 3,5-disubstituted N-acyl-1,4-benzoquinone monoimines, unlike their N-arylsulfonyl analogs, leads to increase of the C=N-C angle above 130A degrees or twisting of the double C=N bond and loss of planarity of the quinoid ring. This structural transformation enhances the reactivity of the C=N bond so that 1,2-addition of alcohols becomes possible with formation of sterically unstrained cyclohexadienone structure with sp (3)-hybridized C-4 carbon atom.

Halogenation of N-substituted para-quinone monoimines and para-quinone monoximes ethers: IX. Halogenation of N-aroyl-2,6(3,5)-dimethyl-1,4-benzoquinone monoimines and their reduced forms
摘要:
At the halogenation of N-aroyl-2,6(3,5)-dimethyl-1,4-benzoquinone imines we found the halogenation of methyl groups to occur. The bromination of N-aroyl-2,6-dimethyl-1,4-benzoquinone imines yielded 3,6-dibromo2,6-dimethyl-5-aroyloxycyclohex-2-ene-1,4-diones due to the strong acceptor property of the ArCO group and high redox potentials of N-aroyl derivatives. In the chlorination of N-aroyl-3,5-dimethyl-1,4-benzoquinone imines the chlorine addition to the C=C bond of the quinoid ring proceeded both by the trans-and syn-scheme.
