Product 1

HCID 702912,5-Cyclohexadiene-1,4-dione, 2,3,5-trimethyl-Yield 28.6%

Procedure

13.6 g (0.1 mole) of 2,3,6-trimethylphenol was pulverized and dispersed in 40 g of water. Then, oxidation reaction was conducted in the same manner as in Example 4. The reaction proceeded so late that 2 hours were required at a room temperature. After conducting stream distillation, the same treatment as in Example 1 (B) was effected to obtain 4.28 g (28.6 percent in yield) of 2,3,6-trimethyl-p-benzoquinone.
