Abstract

A variety of new aromatic diols substituted with two (similar and different) phosphorus groups were synthesized via the Michael-type addition of a PH bond containing reagents to p-benzoquinone, reoxidation and the subsequent addition of a second phosphorus unit. In all studied cases, 2,3-substituted products were obtained exclusively. The resulting hydroquinone derivatives were further investigated regarding rearrangements under basic conditions. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
