Recent advances in catalytic oxidative reactions of phenols and naphthalenols

“…71,[81][82][83] Using 2-aminophenol 7 as the chemical feedstock to produce highly reactive o-QMIs has been a long-standing contest. 84 Compared to other well-studied quinones and p-QMI derivatives, 77,85 o-QMIs have the highest range of lability due to their larger susceptibility to hydrolysis and dimerization. 84 This is especially true for structurally unbiased o-QMI with an unsubstituted phenyl ring and free NH (Fig.…”
