2,3-Dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone → HCID 11290387, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

2,3-Dichloro-5,6-dicyanobenzoquinone (1.362 g, 6.0 mmols) was added to a solution of dimethyl 1,4-dipropyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthalene-2,3-dicarboxylate (0.665 g, 2.0 mmols) in benzene (20 ml). The mixture was then refluxed for 24 hours. After filtration, the solvent in the mixture was removed in vacuum. Column chromatography was performed using silica gel as the packing material to give the title compound (0.464 g ) as colorless crystals. The GC yield was 87% and the isolation yield was 71%.
