反応手順

Hydroquinone (10 g, 0.09 mol) and dichloromethane (30 mL), was taken in a round bottom flask, after cooling the flask to about 10-15° C., sulfuric acid (36 N, 8.9 g) was added dropwise at the same temperature and stirring continued further for about 10-15 min. Temperature was slowly raised to 30-40° C. then stirred for 1-2 h. The reaction mass was then cooled to 25-35° C. and ethyl acetate (100 mL) added to dissolve the solid formed. A solution of potassium 2-ethylhexanoate (18.2 g, 0.099 mol) in ethyl acetate (100 mL) was added slowly. The reaction was further stirred for an hour. The precipitated crude solid was filtered, washed with ethyl acetate to give 16 g of 2,5-dihydroxybenzenesulfonic acid potassium salt.
