Abstract

N-Acetyl-2,3,5,6-tetrachloro-p-benzoquinone imine is best prepared by direct chlorination of N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)acetamide. The tetrachloro quinone imine is a stable compound with a high oxidation-reduction potential and may be a useful addition to the range of conventional high potential quinones. Some typical oxidation reactions are described as well as some reactions with nucleophilic reagents.
