1,4-Benzoquinone, BQ

1,4-Benzoquinone is a dehydrogenation reagent. The derivatives tetrachloro-1,4-benzoquinone and 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyanobenzoquinone are stronger oxidants, while duroquinone is a weaker oxidant. Whereas the resulting phenolate as reaction product of 1,4-benzoquinone (hydroquinone) is ...

Strain-promoted alkyne-nitrone cycloaddition (SPANC)

SPAAC can be carried out efficiently. On the one hand, the chemical potential energy of azide and alkyne substrates as reactants is very high. Diaryl-strained-cyclooctynes, such as dibenzylcyclooctyne (DIBO), have found application in reacting with 1,3-nitrones in strain-promoted alkyne-nitrone ...
