ChemInform Abstract: Neopentylation of Phenols and Hydroquinones.
Abstract
The neopentylation of phenol and various hydroquinones such as (I) is achieved using neopentyl iodide (II) in the presence of Cs2CO3.
ChemInform Abstract
The neopentylation of phenol and various hydroquinones such as (I) is achieved using neopentyl iodide (II) in the presence of Cs2CO3. Even sterically hindered hydroquinones such as (Id) are smoothly converted to neopentyl ethers.
