Abstract
Oxidation of 4-alkylphenols 1 by 1(tert-butylperoxy)-1,2-benziodoxol-3 (1H) (2) in the presence of ren-butyl hydroperoxide affords selectivel y 4-(tert-butylperoxy)-2,5-cyclohexadien-1-ones 3 in good yields. Evid ence rot the involvement of free-radicals is reported. (C) 1997 Elsevi er Science Ltd.
