1. As a result of the hydrogenation of the quinone (I) over Raney nickel there was formed a previously undescribed readily oxidizable hydroquinone (III), which was characterized as the quinhydrone, the diacetic ester, and the bis(phenylurethan). 2. In the condensation of anthracene with 1,4-naphthoquinone in acetic anhydride, the formation of the diacetate (IV) is accompanied by oxidation of the hydroquinone (III) to the quinone (I) by unchanged 1,4-naphthoquinone. Under the conditions of the reaction the latter gives 1,4-naphthalenediol diacetate. © 1962 Consultants Bureau Enterprises, Inc.
