Participants

Reaction Steps

To 5.0 g of 2-sec-octadecyl-5-nitrohydroquinone dimethyl ether and 135 ml of glacial acetic acid were added 15 ml of 47% hydrobromic acid and the mixture was heated with reflux for 10 hours. After being allowed to cool, the mixture was added to water and then extracted with ether. After washing with water and drying, the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure and the residue was purified through silica gel column chromatography. As the developing solvent,benzene/n-hexane (1:1) was used. The end product was obtained in 1.7 g as yellowish brown semisolid. The structure was determined by means of IR, NMR and elemental analysis data. Elemental analysis:
