The Epoxidation of 2,5-Di-tert-butyl-1,4-benzoquinone: A Consecutive Reaction for the Physical Chemistry Laboratory.
Hairfield, E. M.; And Others
Journal of Chemical Education, v62 n2 p175-77 Feb 1985
Reports a consecutive first-order reaction for which the concentrations of reactant, intermediate, and products can be determined simulataneously. This reaction is the epoxidation of 2,5-di-tert-butyl-1,4-benzoquinone (I) by alkaline hydroperoxidation using tert-butyl hydroperoxide and benzyltrimethylammonium hydroxide (Triton B) catalyst. Materials needed and procedures used in this physical chemistry experiment are included. (JN)
