Reaction Steps

A suspension of 32.4 g of phenylhydroquinone in 30 ml of acetic acid was made. It was heated to 80° C. and boron trifluoride gas was bubbled through. After a reaction period of 4 h the reaction mixture was poured into water. The precipitation formed was suction-filtered and stirred in water whereto some sodium carbonate was added up to pH 8. The precipitate was suction-filtered again, washed with water, dried and recrystallized from toluene. Yield: 23 g of purified product. Melting point: 169° C.
