Abstract
Abstract The reaction of 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane with substituted o-benzo-quinones afforded new bis(6-hydroxycyclohexa-2,4-dienone) derivatives. Treatment of the same reagent with o-naphthoquinone, phenanthrenequinone, and acenaphthenequinone gave the respective bis(diphenylphosphoryl)ethylidenes or diacenaphthylenone derivatives. On the other hand, p-quinones react with 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)methane to yield the corresponding 4-hydroxycyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-ones. Possible reaction mechanisms are considered and the structural assignments are based on compatible analytical and spectroscopic data. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
