Summary.

 2,6-Disubstituted phenol derivatives have been oxidized by cerium(IV) perchlorate in aqueous or aqueous-acetonitrile solutions of perchloric acid as well as in two-phase systems to the corresponding 1,4-benzoquinones, 4,4′-diphenoquinones, and oligomeric poly(1,4-phenylene) oxides in good yield. Nature and constitution of the oxidation products as a consequence of reaction conditions and physico-chemical properties of radicals and radical ions are reported. These properties are discussed in terms of stabilities, pK values, and electron densities at carbon C4 and oxygen.

Zusammenfassung.

 2,6-Disubstituierte Phenolderivate wurden in wäßrigen oder wäßrig-acetonitrilischen Lösungen sowie in Zweiphasensystemen mittels Cer(IV)perchlorat zu den entsprechenden 1,4-Benzochinonen, 4,4′-Diphenochinonen und Poly(1,4-phenylen)oxiden oxidiert. Es wird über die Abhängigkeit der Art und Konstitution der Oxidationsprodukte von den Reaktionsbedingungen und den physikochemischen Eigenschaften der Radikale und Radikalionen berichtet. Die Ergebnisse werden im Zusammenhang mit Stabilitäten, pK-Werten und Elektronendichten an C4 und am Sauerstoff diskutiert.
