18. Besides dioxane and acetonitrile, nitromethane could also be used as the solvent. Acetone and t-BuOH could also be used although longer reaction times were required.
19. The obtained quinones were characterized by analytical data (NMR, IR, and MS spectra and mp). The known quinones are as follows: 4a (= 2), commercially available; 4b, commercially available; 4c, see ref 19; 4d, see ref 27; 6a, commercially available; 6b, see ref 20, 28; 6c, see ref 29; 6d, see ref 30; quinone derived from 7, see ref 6.
