Procedure

To a solution of 2,3-dimethoxy-5-methyl-6-(8'-ethoxycarbonyloctyl)-1,4-benzoquinone(formula I-2 wherein R=H3CO, n=7, in the form of ethylester) (0.8 part) in diethyl ether (10 volume parts), followed by the addition of a 30% solution (20 volume parts) of potassium hydroxide containing sodium hydrosulfite. The mixture was refluxed for 1 hour. After cooling, the reaction mixture was rendered acidic with hydrochloric acid and extracted with diethyl ether. The ethereal extract was washed with water and shaken together with a solution of ferric chloride. The ethereal layer was washed with water and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The diethyl ether was distilled off under reduced pressure and the resulting residue was crystallized from diethyl ether-hexane. The procedure provided 2,3-dimethoxy-5-methyl-6-(8'-carboxyoctyl)-1,4-benzoquinone (formula I-2 wherein R=H3CO, n=7, in the free form) (0.53 part) as orange-colored needles melting at 39°-40.5° C.
