A mild and selective route to p-quinomethanes using dianisyltellurium oxide

Abstract
The o-quinones formed by chemical or enzymatic oxidation of 4-cyanomethylcatechols rapidly rearrange to isomeric p-quinomethanes which can be trapped: the structures of previously described 4-cyanomethyl-1,2-naphthoquinones are revised.
