OXIDATION OF SOME DISUBSTITUTED ANISOLE DERIVATIVES WITH CERIC PERCHLORATE IN PERCHLORIC-ACID SOLUTION

The influence of concentration of particular reagents on the kinetics of Ce(lV) reduction by 2,6-dimethyl and 3,5-dimethyl-anisole as well a s 2-methoxyl-5-methyl- and 4-methoxy-2-methyl-aniline in perchloric ac id solution was investigated, establishing the stoichiometry of these processes. Some intermediate products - macromolecular, derivatives of p-benzoquinone and 4,4'-diphenoquinone - were separated and identifie d. The effects of substituents and the conditions of performed oxidati on processes on the kind and yield of the resultant products were cons idered.
