Procedure

To a solution (200 ml) of 6-(11-acetoxyundecyl)-2,3-dimethoxy-5-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone (4.2 g) in methanol is added concentrated hydrochloric acid (0.1 ml), and the mixture is allowed to stand at room temperature for 12 hours. To the reaction mixture is added sodium bicarbonate (0.2 g) and the solvent is distilled off. The product is dissolved in dichloromethane and the insoluble matter is filtered off. Removal of dichloromethane by distillation gives crude crystals. Recrystallization from hexane-ether (3:1) yields orange-yellow needles of 6-(11-hydroxyundecyl)-2,3-dimethoxy-5-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone (I, n=11) (3.6 g) m.p. 57° C.
