Abstract
The interaction of 3,6-di-tert-butyl-ortho-benzoquinone (1) and 3,5-di -tert-butyl-ortho-benzoquinone (2) with NH3 in water-alcohol medium an d with (NH4)(2)CO3 in a Solid phase has been studied. Redox processes with participation of a nucleophile of the medium take place for 1, wh ile 2 reacts with NH3 at the carbonyl group with transformation of the quinone imide. The mechanism of redox transformation of 1 has been pr oposed.
