Mode opératoire

2,5-Dibromohydroquinone 3 (40.2 g, 0.15 mol) was dissolved in a solution of sodium hydroxide (9.2 g, 0.23 mol) in 1.5 L of absolute ethanol at room temperature under nitrogen atmosphere. The reaction mixture was warmed to 50-60° C. with constant stirring. The dodecylbromide (36 ml, 0.15 mol) was added drop wise to the above reaction mixture at 60° C. After 10 h of stirring under nitrogen atmosphere, the reaction mixture was cooled and the precipitate formed was filtered and washed with methanol. This precipitate was identified as dialleylated-2,5-dibromohydroquinone as a side product. The filtrate was evaporated to remove the solvent. 2 L of distilled water was added to the residue and the mixture was acidified with 36% HCl, boiled gently for 1 h and cooled. The resulting precipitate was collected by filtration, washed with water and dried in vacuo. The crude product was purified by column chromatography using a mixture of solvents (CH2Cl2:hexanes, 4:6) to get the pure product in 60% yield.
