New sterically hindered di-o-quinones of the biphenyl series
摘要:
New di-o-quinones of the biphenyl series, namely, 2,2'-dialkyl-5,5'-di-tert-butylbiphenyl-3,4,3',4'-diquinones, were synthesized. Their structures were established by IR and NMR spectroscopy. The molecular structure of 2,2'-dimethyl-5,5'-di-tert-butylbiphenyl-3,4,3',4'-diquinone was established by X-ray structural analysis. The structure is characterized by orthogonal (the torsion angle is 82.9 degrees) mutual arrangement of o-benzoquinone fragments. ESR studies demonstrated that chemical reduction of diquinone proceeds in four one-electron stages to form paramagnetic mono- and trianions as intermediates. Quinopyrocatechols, which are intermediates in the synthesis of di-o-quinones, were isolated and characterized.

A number of square pyramidal o-semiquinonic nickel complexes with 2,6-bis(diphenylphosphinomethyl)phenyl were investigated by EPR spectroscopy in solution. The complexes have flexible coordination spheres and can exist in solution as two isomers rapidly (on the EPR timescale) interconverting one to another at room temperature. The equilibrium is entropy driven and does not significantly depend on the substituents in the semiquinone ring. The spin density distribution depends on mesomeric properties and bulkiness of substituents in ortho-position to oxygen atoms.

Photoreduction of o-benzoquinones in the presence of para-substituted N,N-dimethyl-anilines under irradiation at λ ≥ 500 nm affords pyrocatechol monoethers of the 2-(amino-methoxy)phenol type. In the subsequent dark reaction, these monoethers undergo quantitative decomposition by a heterolytic mechanism to give the corresponding pyrocatechols and nitrogen-containing compounds. The rate of this decomposition
Two C–O Bond Formations on a Carbenic Carbon: Palladium-Catalyzed Coupling of <i>N</i>-Tosylhydrazones and Benzo-1,2-quinones To Construct Benzodioxoles
A novel and efficient method for the formation of two C–O bonds on a carbenic carbon is reported. This palladium-catalyzed coupling of N-tosylhydrazones and benzo-1,2-quinones were involved the process of carbonylylidesgeneration, aromatization, and intramolecular nucleophilic addition, delivering various useful benzodioxoles in high yields.

The photochemicaltransformations of quinones by the action of light at λ > 500 nm, namely, the photodecarbonylation and photoreduction reactions were studied with the use of a series of o-benzoquinones and 9,10-phenanthrenequinone as examples. The two-stage mechanism of the decarbonylation reaction of o-benzoquinones was established. At the first stage, rearrangement of a photoexcited quinone molecule
Photoreduction of o-benzoquinones in the presence of p-bromo-N,N-dimethylaniline under irradiation (lambda > 500 nm) affords the corresponding pyrocatechols and hydroxyphenyl ethers. The latter are unstable and, in turn, decompose in the dark reaction to pyrocatechols. The ratio between pyrocatechol and hydroxyphenyl ether formed upon the photoreaction is determined by the structure of o-quinone, namely, the presence and bulk of substituents in positions 3 and 6 of the ring. The yield of pyrocatechol is maximal (60-65%) if the substituents are the same (H and H, Bu-t and Bu-t) or insignificantly differ (Pr-i and Bu-t), regardless of its bulk.
