Title: Hindered Diphenoquinones: Diradicals of Oxygen

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/915453· OSTI ID:915453

Attempts were made to prepare a diphenoquinone having substituents in 2,2'-positions in order to prevent the planarity of the molecule and get a diradical of oxygen. The 2,2'-dimethyl-5,5'-di-t-butyldiphenoquinone was prepared and was shown to be in equilibrium with a small amount of diradical. This compound slowly polymerizes.
