Abstract

The treatment of cis/trans-3, 6-dimethoxy-3, 6-dimethylcyclo-hexa-1, 4-diene (ca. 1/1 mixture; easily prepared electrochemically in multigram scale from p-xylene) under acidic conditions (acetic, trifluoroacetic, sulfuric, or a Lewis acid) yields almost exclusively 2- methoxy-1, 4-dimethylbenzene 4, through a transposition reaction. The use of aqueous hydrochloric or hydrofluoric acid gives 2, 5-di-methylphenol 12, and with hydrogen ...
