Procedimiento

p-Toluenesulfonyl chloride (25.80 g, 135 mmol) was added to a suspension of 2,3-dicyanohydroquinone (10.00 g, 62.5 mmol) and potassium carbonate (34.50 g, 250 mmol) in acetone (75 mL). The temperature of the flask rose rapidly, which stabilised after 2 minutes. The mixture was then heated to reflux and stirred for 2 hours. TLC (eluting: CH2Cl2) indicated that all the starting 2,3-dicyanohydroquinone had been consumed. The mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature, and was poured into water (200 mL), and the mixture stirred for 1 hour. Filtration gave the title compound (Product A) as a colourless solid, which was washed with more water (˜30 mL) and pulled dry. The solid was then dried in an oven (28.36 g, 97%). This material was used without further purification.
