New bis(thio)-, tris(thio)-, and tetrakis(thio)-substituted quinones from the reactions of p-chloranil with some thiols and dithiols

Abstract

p-Chloranil (1), when reacted with different thiol compounds, namely 1-buthylthiol, cyclohexylthiol, and 2,2-oxydiethanethiol in ethanol in the presence of Na2CO3, yielded the corresponding S-substituted quinone derivatives.
