61. The low yield is probably due to the low reactivity of 1-chloroanthraquinone 4a, because quenching experiments of 3a with methyl iodide under the same reaction conditions delivered 1-methoxy-6-(tetrahydropyran-2-yloxy)hexane in 80% yield.

72. According to recent results by Wortmann, complexes of donor substituted aromatic systems and quinones display charge transfer absorptions at 346 nm. R. Wortmann, personal communication.
73. Charge transfer complexes of 6 with stronger acceptors such as TNF gave absorptions at 496 nm and 600 (sh) nm according to Markovitsi. See refs. 15 and 28 for details.
74. Becher has shown that a very weak charge-transfer absorption in the UV spectrum could only be observed after keeping a solution of the donor acceptor complex for several days. See ref. 35 for details.
