GENERAL METHOD: Diacetoxyiodobenzene (5 mmol, 1.61 g) and NaHSO4-H2O (1 mmol, 0.138 g) were stirred in an aqueous acetonitrile solution (5 mL of water and 5 mL of acetonitrile) for 10-15 minutes at room temperature. To this reaction mixture, 2-chlorobenzamide (1 mmol) was added and stirring was continued until the reaction was complete (monitored by TLC). Upon completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was quenched with ice water and subsequently extracted with chloroform (3 x 10 mL). The chloroform layers were combined, washed with water (3 x 20 mL), dried with anhydrous Na2SO4 and concentrated on a rotary evaporator to give the crude product. The crude product was further purified by silica gel column chromatography using ethyl acetate: hexane (1:9, v/v) as eluent to give pure 2-chloro-1,4-benzoquinone.

Preparation of 2-chloro-1, 4-benzoquinone A mixture of 2, 4-dichlorophenol (5 mmol) and Ti-superoxide catalyst (125 mg, 20% w/w) in acetic acid (5 ml) was heated with stirring at 60-70 C under inert atmosphere. To this reaction mixture was added aq. 30% H202 (20 mmol) drop wise over 15 min. and heated for 1 h. The catalyst was recovered by simple filtration and corresponding quinone formed (25%) was separated by chromatographic purification.Table 1: Ti-superoxide (1) catalyzed oxidation of phenols to quinines and hydroquinones with aq. 30% H202 : a Ex.
