16 g of, α, α, α', α', -tetrabromo-o-xylene, 44 g of potassium iodide and 10 g crude 2-methoxy-1,4-benzoquinone were stirred in 160 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide at 70° C. overnight. After the reaction was complete, no bromide was left as determined by thin layer chromotography and the reaction mixture was poured into 1200 ml of H2O. 10%aq Na2S2O5 solution was added to decolorize the solution. The precipitate formed in the aqueous solution was collected and dried. Continuous extraction of the dark precipitate using benzene as a solvent yielded a dark colored solution. The solution was then washed with 2.5% NaOH, H2O, dried and concentrated. 7 g of crude product was obtained. Recrystallization from methanol yielded 5 g of pure yellow powder of MAQ.
