44. In the case of a stepwise process (loss of one electron and one proton), an phenoxonium cation intermediate might well be involved, which has recently been shown to be quite stable: Lee, S. B.; Willis, A. C.; Webster, R. D. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2006, 128, 9332-9333.
45. Also the conversion of p-quinoid into o-quinoid structures in the chemistry of α-tocopherol involves such an intermediate, e.g., the reaction of p-tocopheryl quinone with acetyl halide or trimethylsilyl halide to O-protected 5a-halotocopherols: (a) Dallacker, F.; Eisbach, R.; Holschbach, M. Chem. Ztg. 1991, 115, 113-116.
