Reaction Steps

To a solution of trimethylhydroquinone (10.0 g) and acetic anhydride (10 mL) in dichloromethane (50 mL) was added diisopropylethylamine (10 mL) at room temperature. The solution was stirred at room temperature for 18 hours, diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with water and brine. Evaporation gave the 2,3,5-trimethyl-1,4-phenylene diacetate as solid.
