摘要: The stoichiometry of the reactions semiquinones resulting from one-electron oxidation various dihydroxybenzenes is examined. It verified that hydroquinone and catechol disproportionate completely to give p-benzoquinone o-benzoquinone, respectively. With resorcinol, however, corresponding semioxidised radical reaction different, giving unstable dimers which subsequently rearrange tetrahydroxybiphenyls.The usefulness followed by o-semiquinone disproportionation as a means preparing biologically important o-quinones exemplified three new examples: (1) o-quinone oestradiol may have melanocytotoxic properties; (2) salsolinol whose oxidative metabolites be responsible for neuronal damage in alcoholism (3)o-quinone tetrahydropapaveroline metabolism play role both alcohol addiction Parkinson's disease.
