6-(ω-Hydroxyalkyl)-2, 3-dimethoxy-5-methyl-1, 4-benzoquinones (3) and 6-(ω-acetoxyalkyl)-2, 3-dimethoxy-5-methyl-1, 4-benzoquinones (26) having various carbon numbers (n) of the side chain were synthesized by the Friedel-Crafts coupling of 3, 4, 5-trimethoxytoluene (4) and ω-acetoxyalkanoyl chlorides (5) as a key step. The Fremy's salt oxidation or the salcomine-catalyzed oxidation of 6-(ω-hydroxyalkyl)-2, 3-dimethoxy-5-methylphenols (25) and their acetates (24), the key intermediates of the process, gave rise to 3 and 26, respectively, in good yields. The described method provides a good yield of the 1, 4-benzoquinones and is suitable for the synthesis of other quinonyl analogs. The effect on lipid peroxidation in canine brain homogenate of the 1, 4-benzoquinones (3) having various carbon numbers (n) of the side chain was studied. Among the compounds tested, 3 having a carbon number in the range of n=9-13 showed rather strong antioxidant activity.
6-(ω-羟基烷基)-2,3-二甲氧基-5-甲基-1,4-苯醌(3)和6-(ω-乙酰氧基烷基)-2,3-二甲氧基-5-甲基-1,4-苯醌(26)具有不同的侧链碳数(n),通过Friedel-Crafts耦合反应合成了3,4,5-三甲氧基甲苯(4)和ω-乙酰氧基烷酰氯(5)的关键步骤。Frémy盐氧化或水合氯化锡-催化氧化6-(ω-羟基烷基)-2,3-二甲氧基-5-甲基苯酚(25)及其乙酸盐(24),该过程的关键中间体,分别以良好产率得到了3和26。所述方法提供了1,4-苯醌的高产率,并适用于其他醌类似物的合成。研究了1,4-苯醌(3)对犬脑匀浆中脂质过氧化的影响,具有不同的侧链碳数(n)。在测试的化合物中,n=9-13的3表现出相当强的抗氧化活性。
