Abstract

The interaction of 3,6-di-tert-butyl-ortho-benzoquinone (1) and 3,5-di-tert-butyl-ortho-benzoquinone (2) with NH3 in water—alcohol medium and with (NH4)2CO3 in a solid phase has been studied. Redox processes with participation of a nucleophile of the medium take place for1, while2 reacts with NH3 at the carbonyl group with transformation of the quinone imide. The mechanism of redox transformation of1 has been proposed.
