Abstract
Amidoethyl-p-benzoquinones are easily accessible from 2,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde. A one-step Wittig-hydrolysis reaction is followed by an amidation of the produced 2,5-dimethoxycinnamic acid. Hydrogenation and oxidative demethylation complete the sequence to the respective amidoethyl-p-benzoquinones. The spectroscopic data of the products is discussed.
