The influence of the concentration of individual reagents on the rate of oxidation of 2,3,5-, 2,3,6- and 2,4,6-trimethylphenols by cerium(IV) in aqueous solutions of perchloric acid was determined by a potentiometric method. A scheme of reaction was proposed, and it has been shown that methylbenzoquinones, the only intermediate products of this reaction, can be obtained on a preparative scale.
