摘要
2-Methoxy-1,4-benzoquinone can be alkylated selectively with trialkylboranes in position 5, giving high yields of 5-alkyl-2-methoxy-1,4-benzoquinones after oxidative work up. In the case of 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone, the same procedure leads to 3-alkylated products. A radical chain mechanism is proposed to explain the observed selectivity.
