Abstract

Duroquinone, tetramethyl-p-benzoquinone, has been made in three ways. v. Pechmann 'found that the aliphatic a-diketones, with alkali, underwent a condensation leading to ring structures, and if the diketone is 2, 3-diketopentane (acetyl propionyl), duroquinone is obtained in a yield of about 10%.
